Day 25

Day 25 - Dawson Creek, BC to
Jasper, AB
Miles today - 341 miles
Total Miles - 8657 miles

The Alaska Hwy begins at Mile 0 in Dawson Creek. Dawson Creek was an important funnel for supplies and equipment during the construction of the Alaska Hwy. in 1942.


When we got up, it was raining and it rained most of the way to Jasper. Late in the afternoon, the sun started to come out and the scenery improved.

We entered the Jasper National Park in the early evening and spent the night in the city of Jasper.
Jasper is a popular ski area in winter and has all kinds of summer activities too - so it was really crowded and hard to find a room. Sure glad we did because it rained all night and would have been a soggy night to camp.
