See Alaska Highway, West Yukon page for eastbound
NOTE: Miles in Alaska are based on physical mile posts along the highway. There is a 32 mile difference between "historical" and "actual" miles between the border and Dawson Creek. Miles used here reflect the historical distance from mile "0" at Dawson Creek, and are rounded up or down to the nearest marker.
OVERNIGHT PARKING (but not camping) is allowed in Alaska rest areas and turnouts unless otherwise posted. Because of bears, it is strongly recommended that travelers use established public or private campgrounds.
Remember that it is unlawful to block five or more vehicles. Slow drivers must turn off to allow others to proceed. Expect to encounter pavement breaks and frost heaves in Alaska, especially in the passes and interior. Adjust your speed to enable your vehicle to proceed without frequent breaking. Be alert for animals on the road, especially moose and caribou.
