Moon Lake State Campground, AK to River’s Edge RV Park, Fairbanks, AK – 202 miles
Today we traveled along the Tanana Valley Forest that is 1.81 million acres in the Tanana River Basin. Beautiful with many lakes and rivers. A highlight was seeing a moose along the highway.
We started the Alaska Highway at Mile 0 in Dawson Creek, BC. The first 613 miles of the Alaska Highway are in British Columbia, Highway 97 North. The highway travels in a northwesterly direction to the Yukon border near Watson Lake, Yukon (Historical Mile 635). From there it continues as Yukon Highway 1, crossing 577 miles of Yukon to Port Alcan on the Alaska border. The Alaska Highway crosses into Alaska at Historical Mile 1221.8, where it becomes Alaska Route 2. From the international border, it is 200 miles to Delta Junction, AK (Historical Mile 1422), the official end of the Alaska Highway!
We stopped at the North Pole which is 30 miles outside of Fairbanks. Everything Christmas year round.
