The United States and Canada collaborated to construct a highway from British Columbia to Alaska after the Pearl Harbor bombing in 1941. The 1,685-mile road, completed in less than nine months, has since been upgraded and rerouted, now spanning nearly 1,400 miles. The highway offers a budget-friendly road trip through breathtaking landscapes, wildlife sightings, and unique experiences, such as staying on a powerboat in Valdez, Alaska. The journey also includes stops at national parks, hot springs, and iconic destinations like Whitehorse and Banff. The trip culminates in Kimberley, British Columbia, offering a fitting end to a packed itinerary.
