This video covers the drive from the north Washington Border, along the Alaska Highway through British Columbia (BC) and Yukon Territory in Canada to the town of Tok, Alaska - and also details the direction to get to the official end of the Alaska Highway in Delta Junction, which is a few hours from Tok. Thank you for keeping comments respectful. I put a lot of work into making this video from two previous trips through Canada.

I drove the ALCAN Highway in 1992 and I see that all the towns are much bigger now. Just loved my trip, A dream come true. Thanks for the updates!

My Dad was a semi driver in the 50’s, Seattle to Anchorage, he took me in 59’. 800 miles of gravel road an 9 pilot cars. The most beautiful world I’ve ever seen.

Wow, thanks so much for this. Watched several others about the trip, all more “how fun” sorts of travelogues. Greatly appreciate your concrete and practical insiders knowledge.! We’re driving up from Oregon in August to Haines and ferrying to Juneau for work. Well done.

Very Informative and Expertly edited!!!!! Thank you 🙏

I am driving the ALCAN right now! Left Dawson Creek this morning and staying at Muncho Lake. Absolutely gorgeous…darn near hot day! Saw a sow and a cub and lots of caribou (almost hit one)….

My husband & I really enjoyed your video. We live in the South of the lower 48, but have been to Alaska many times. It’s one of our most favorite states! Btw, you have the most soothing voice!

Outstanding video. My wife and I along with our mini schnauzer are thinking about driving to Alaska next June. You provided a lot of great information I needed to know. Thank You!!

Thank you for all the helpful information!! Looking forward to my trip next summer. Great video!

I lived in Fort Nelson for 17 years and had relatives in western Oregon and Washington; so this was a real trip down Memory Lane. Thanks so much.

Better video than most. My wife and I did Anchorage to Orange County, California in August 2018. Took us 19;days. We took our time. Glad you gave more respect to Canada to most other similar KZfaq videos.

We made this trip in 66. My dad was in the Union and we was always traveling. This was a real adventure and something to see. A great trip for sure. A lot nicer and easier today then back then.... thanks for sharing

Hello Alaska Living! Loved your vid! And I admire how you stayed calm during the no- gas situation. Very well put together. Held my attention the whole way thru. And those are great songs... especially the the one that starts with whistling! Thank you very much!

This vid is highly informative! Nicely done! Thank you!!!

Thanks for doing this and bringing back some wonderful memories to this legally blind Old lady. Lived up North in BC and Yukon in my younger days. Take care and again thanks so much. Smiles from Mimi

Thanks so much! We plan to visit this year, and this was good perspective.

Loved your video - it was helpful - thanks

Great video. Thank you. Very informative. Beautiful nature all the way.

I really enjoyed watching the movie you shared, the natural scene is so beautiful. Thank you! I clicked the subscribe button to your channel!

👩Thank you so much for making this video it is very informative and to the point you're a "Lifesaver" God BLESS you.🙏❤️👍

That was amazing info. Thank you

I rewatched the video as I just finished mapping out my stops. Appreciated the information again and seeing some of the spots after reading about them! You guys drove the route very fast, I am impressed by how much driving you did

This is the first time I've followed your venture. Thank you very much. Lots of info on your trip. I used to live in Ft. St. John back in 1970. It was a small town and now it's very large for Canada BC. Thanks again.

Hey, this is so great thank you so much because I plan to leave here. I’m in Georgia, I plan to leave here in the middle of July to head to Alaska. I’m single and I’m black and I’ve ha e my 3 dogs. I feel a little scared. I got to be honest with you, but I know that I’m not gonna let that stop me. I’ve always dreamed of going to the Yukon driving to Alaska, and I have the opportunity to do that now. Thank you so much for your video. This is gonna help me as a single woman driving this road to be safe. I really appreciate it.

What a great video, thanks for taking us on your journey.

I just found your channel from Through My Lens. It was so kind of you to share your helicopter ride with Josh and Pops! I'm planning to do this drive in 2 years. I appreciate the practical tips you give in your videos, it's exactly the information I'm looking for.

Fantastic video,I learned so much,going to watch it again

June was perfect for this adventure for us. Always light out most of the way. It’s a great highway and everything I’d hoped it would be. Great video.

enjoyed your video, thanks

Thank you so much. I've been researching for a year gaining knowledge for my trip next April. I'll be spending my 62nd birthday year in Alaska! The most wanted place to go in the US, all my life. So excited. I'll be driving and leaving from South Dakota. Thanks for your video and going at a slower pace to take it all in!

Discovered your video by accident. Of all the Alaska/Canada videos I've watched, and I'd easily say hundreds, you by far have the most appealing. Just enough talking to make it interesting. We've been to Alaska 5 times. Your work is a real treat.

Very interesting and informative

Such an mazhing view of Alaska...that it seems...we suddenly landed on some another planet...having too much snow...❤❤

I drove this route twice; 1980 and then 81, many parts of the highway were not paved. Very beautiful scenery; rough ride sometimes....thanks this has been fun to watch.

Anyway...a nice video. Thanks for posting

I live in Fort St. John. Just a head’s up. There is a small oil refinery in Prince George. Your cheapest fuel is usually there. It will get more expensive from Cache Creek to Williams Lake then drop until you reach Prince George. The price of fuel will climb from there north.

Thanks for your video. It will be useful on my trip to Seqard

Great informative video. I drove the Alcan in late June & early Sept. 2022 & gas was over $9/gal. in June. The best tip I would add to your list just below bring cash (both US & Canada) is the first stop to make when entering town is the Information Center. The people are most helpful & it is a one stop to find all the most useful info for traveling from the cheapest gas to help with making reservation for the Alaska State Ferry. Or & by the way, the Ferry was the cheapest, & most enjoyable, option for me when I left Alaska, but then my truck only gets 9mpg,.

Amazing video, thanks

very good video , you said very enough and told us anything about all tips , thank you so much

Great video. Thanks 😊

When I first moved here (North Pole, Alaska) in 1999, I joined a group called "Alaska Living." Many of us are still friends to this day. It is a wonderful place to live!!

Drove it quite a bit from 98 to 2001 while living in Fort Nelson, BC; the Alaska Highway is Fort Nelson's main street eh! Nasty in Winter though eh!

thankyou. Greeting from Istanbul Turkiye

Love it

I'm doing it later this May unless something special comes up that I can't pass on. I can't wait. I'm in Southwest, Utah now in a small old town and have been on the road for 3 months after selling my East, TX lawncare business after passing out due to the extreme heat index. I've met many people along this short 2 months and heard many stories. I've met amazing people on backpacking trails from Big Bend to Arches to the Grand Canyon. I've shared some beers with homeless people and spent a night around a campfire with astronomers. Life is short, you have to take risks and go outside your comfort zone, I'm only 32 but in these last 3 months I've learned I've only just started to live. Life is short, experience, empathy and knowledge in my short time experience this thing we call life are what truly matter. Edit: I'm a 2nd Amendment type and don't carry anymore. I wouldn't recommend picking up hitchhikers unless you can defend yourself. I've carried 4 hitchhikers in my life but that's because I was armed and has my pistol next to me seatbelt, I no longer do that. It's a risk you should be aware of. Chances are you'll be fine 99/100 times and all those people were interesting but one was definitely concerning. You should consider this before stopping for a hitchhiker, if you're alone it's your risk but if you have friends or family with you then you should consider how your decisions might effect them.

I'm from Whitehorse, Yukon. A great travel video my dear. Been to Alaska many times to visit friends and hockey tournaments in the winter. Northerners rule!

Is this our planet ..? When seeing this vedio , I think like that .. what a beautiful environment .. i have no word to describe beauty of canada.. actually which is very beautiful .. without people empty landscapes.. mountains with snow.. wild animals .. forests.. blue colour water with rivers and lakes .. all of these things are marvellous .. i can' t believe this is our planet.. love you (canada)...🇨🇦from🇱🇰

Thanks for yours nice video, appreciated. Very informative for beginners. If you allow me, One more tip: never miss Liard river Hot spring, I hope you was been there…So beautiful place for the rest. Highly recommended!

thank you 👍🍺

I all ways wanted to do a trip to Alaska to go fishing with a friend this video sure has me convinced now about doing it we live in Washington sate thanks a lot I’m for sure going to talk about with him. The only thing I have to ask how do we our hand gun to protect us from the bears while we fish through Canada

Good video

Watching here in Saskatchewan 😊,,it's my dream to travel Alaska by land..

Thank you so much. We learned a lot from this video. We have plans for 2025. Lynn and Danny

I like this Ths

Hi, I am planning to go to Alsaka by ferry and take my Toyota Corolla. we are a couple and Mulsim, don't know, could find Halal Food in Alaska or on the way back to Vancouver. I intend to drive through Danile National Park and then FairBank before we could start our return drive through, yokan and BC. Any suggestion about if I carry or buy from Anchorage our food, keep it in Ice Box, and get warm at various stops along the way.

What kind of vehicle are you in? We are interested in going and want to use something reliable/comfortable. Great footage ❤

Neat

Great video both scenic and very good information. I traveled The Alcan solo (just my 🐕 as companion) and spent 2 summers working for the Burrough schools. Most memorable vacations of my life. One mistake I made is stocking up on food before leaving WA.. Can't take fruits / veggies or anything Canada grows into to the country. Waste of $$$ as it all was left at the border.🙄 I didn't read beyond the NO guns laws.. never thought of fresh fruits ect.. Makes sense. They also searched every inch of my RV.. guess they couldn't believe a woman would travel Alone without a weapon. I told RCMP I had left my hand guns in lock-up @ RV Park in WA as I knew the laws in CA was NO guns.

Okay this a video ment for millennials. For starters i drove the Alcan back in the 90's gps was not what we used we used a map. It was paper and it folded up, but some people never learned how to fold let alone read one. A compass helps for some. Canada still has mile post markers, and if anyone reslly learned about the Alcan is the milepost towns. They were built for rest for travellers besides a safe place. I always stopped at the mom and pop places the food was better and service to.😊

What do you recommend to keep the car warm during winter months so that the car will have no trouble starting up?

Thinking about doing this drive with a Subaru Outback. Would such a vehicle be suitable?

Better getting a 'new' vehichles to travel on this Highway. It will be going a long journey for the travellers.

I got a Volkswagen Jetta base model and planning to drive it with a 1000 lb trailer hitched to it. What do you think about it? Are the roads too steep to pull camper by a regular sedan? Please share your advice

If l want to see the end of the Alaska Highway and drive to Delta Junction should l turn around get back on highway 1 going to Alaska or just keep on driving to Fairbanks and then Anchorage?

did you ever have issues finding gas or getting to low?

Don't be shy about saying "British Columbia" instead of Canada, LOL. And of course the Alaska (or Alaskan or Alcan) highway doesn't begin until Dawson Creek, so no need to call Highway 1 in BC's Fraser Valley "the Alaska Highway." There, I feel better now. I'm happy to live in that big speed bump between "WA" and "AK" :) Comment given in good silly BC fun, eh.

Can I drive the Alaska Canada Highway with my Idaho driver's license?

1 kilometer is roughly 60% of a mile, give or take. Way easier math, look at your 60MPH to our 100KPH and there you go.

awusome info 😏

Back in 1995, I hitchhiked alone up and down the highways in Alaska. Would probably no longer work today in this fearful society.

Only one tip is needed. Bring 3x the amount of money of your worst-case scenario.

Your voice...

I guess the Walmarts are important

Beside the new grass, animals crave the salt used on winter roads……..fyi

I was really liking your video until I saw ketchup on your eggs! Lol!

you must be extremely wealthy.

that explanation about garmin, made me stop watching...

Hi from Alaska. I want to drive to Washington, but I'm broke 🥲 so just watching videos about the Alcan. Great vid! Edit: "let's keep wildlife wild" YESSSS, thank you!!
