In the past, driving on the Alaska Highway was a feat. Today, most of the road is paved and lined with small hotels along its length. What hasn't changed is the view. It's still that old Rocky Mountain magic, with abundant wildlife and beautiful preserved rivers. Dawson Creek is mile 0 on the Alaska Highway: a marker indicates the distances to major towns along the highway. Dawson Creek is named after George Mercer Dawson, a Canadian geologist who visited the town in 1879. Dawson Creek was an oil town and a supply center in the 1960s. Don't miss the town's museum.
