Travel Plan

Day Destination Miles Route

7 Watson Lake, YT 317 1
8 Haines Junction, YT 376 1. We had planned to stop in Whitehorse but pushed onto Haines Junction, too much civilisation in Whitehorse for us.
9 Tok, AK 323 1 which becomes 2 at the Alaska border crossing. We ate lunch in Beaver Creek.
10 Tok, AK 406 2. gonzo run to Delta Junction, then to Fairbanks to complete the Alaska Canada Highway. I don't recommend doing it this way, no time to explore Delta Junction or Fairbanks, but it can be done in one day, the roads are good. Several sections are straight as an arrow for miles.
