Reviews of Alaska Highway (Alcan) Mile 0 Milepost (Tourist Attraction)

Chudyk1986

Nice to see the original existing marker.

Fran Johnson

Nice little photo op on the road. Not really a place to stop and admire, but a drive by is worth seeing it!!

Tracy Kobzos

I love that people come from all over just to see it, to take photo's with it, and to admire it. A mile marker? I don't really get it, however I do love all the excitement it brings.

Don Cameron

A piece of history I only knew as propaganda. The revelation was worth the trip. Don't you wish the road workers in your town could be so inspired? I do.

Natile Grasslin

Wonderful Place! Friendly People ????

THE ALCAN CHANGED MY LIFE

Denise Barlock

I liked the milepost but it's in the middle of the street! It's impossible to get a great selfie to match the end of the Alaska Highway. We were quite sad to discover that there's traffic also at the milepost.

Jay Pee

Post is in the middle of a busy intersection

Denise Dobson

Interesting and historic, and the unparalleled scenery blew us away! WOW!

Steven Rain Davis

Beautiful drive, a little dangerous in mid December because of the white out snow storms, but if you just pay attention, take your time. It's great!

Sagittare 1974

Fabulous place to buy souvenirs and take pictures. Some of the clothing is overpriced just because it has Mile 0 on it or the Alaska Highway. Other than that, the area is great to explore. There is an art gallery there as well. Although it wasn't open, we visit family in the area so will definitely be going back. Dawson Creek area was just beautiful the day we were there and the customer service we received in the visitor information center was fantastic. Highly recommend people stop in and ask some questions.

James Allen

Great iconic marker and pic worthy place on a nice day.

Robert Not Bob

A must do

Helpful attendant when you began alaska freeway get tour proof of visit

Denis Van Alphen

(Translated) Not that spectacular but you have to stop there sometimes, just like everyone else who travels the Alaska highway (Original) Niet zo spectaculair maar je moet er wel eens stoppen, net zoals alle anderen die de Alaska highway afreizen

Cute little town, Fun visitor Center, sometimes crowded with travelers wanting pictures at the sign!

Francine Grey

very helpful

David Hoffmann

Historical but for some reason the mile marker was covered in paper butterflies and it obscured the writing on the post

James Geron

It is in the City Center area. Avoid following the signs for Hwy 97.

Randy Chau

It's a post in the middle of the road. Looks great. Great photo op!

This was an incredible historic spot to take a family photo after the drive from Fairbanks. Standing where the surveyors and soldiers stood in 1942. Very cool. Locals helped take our photo too.

Worth a selfie if your passing through, busy area with traffic but can safely cross to get beside it

Don Ball

Winter here is long n cold... Hello Arizona:)

Bettina Ra.

(Translated) If you drive the Alaska Highway then you have to mile 0 take a souvenir photo. We drove 3700km. Great route (Original) Wenn man den Alaska Highway fährt dann muss man hier mile 0 ein Erinnerungsfoto machen. Wir sind 3700km gefahren. Tolle Strecke

Alison Habetler

its a big post in the middle of the intersection, and near Christmas they put up a tree

Thomas Titan

This is just the mile zero post. Highly recommended for a picture if you are traveling through.

Darcy Forster

The heart of the gold rush north

Richard Slaw Severson

The drive was terrific. Especially the Yukon.

Rod Main

Awesome first stop on way to the yukon from Edmonton! ????????

Horse Trekking Adventures

Very helpful staff. Lots to see in the museum side.

Couldn't resist stopping here to take the customary photo as so many others have done over the years. Should have come by the night before though as I drove into town, as the morning was much busier. Be careful taking your photo - the milepost is in the middle of the intersection. Better yet, get the friendly folks at the Alaska Highway House to take a pic for you. Also, remember that the mile 0 cairn is up the street a bit at the tourism info centre. Another photo op awaits!

rudel stricker

A must-stop point for every Alaska traveler. If you come in early May, you just can make "your own" photo. Later on, you may have to line-up on the the big parking space in front of the sign...

doug richards

Awesome place, very informative super friendly staff

Benjamin Beaty

Definitely a must drive road! It's long, winding and rough in places but it's something you would never regret!

I know it says world famous but that is a bit of a stretch. This is North America famous at best. It was a marvel of engineering when it was built during the war. The terrain was challenging and the work was mostly manual. The history is interesting and the stories are heartbreaking. The city that this highway starts at is a whole other story. Dawson Creek is a clown show of a town. We're talking Ringling Bros meets the cast of Deliverance. It is like a whole psyche ward escaped by diving head first into the parking lot and the survivors just kinda started hanging out at the mall. If you're in to running from the police with a box full of firewood or beating on Walmart greeters, this might be the town for you. If you're looking for drugs or the latest antibiotic resistant STI, you would be in the right place as well. My advice is head to Alaska, don't look back, never look back. Don't question why you are one of the lucky ones who managed to make it out alive. Just keep trucking and be glad you never passed the event horizon of this black hole of a town and got sucked in to suffer the rest of eternity in purgatory.

Rosa Mandziak

Right there in the middle of the intersection. If you want to see it thou don't go at Christmas as it is replaced with a Christmas tree for the holidays.

Doug Chapman

It was really cool to see this iconic land mark.

Helen of Troy

Only 2 lane. Many wavy spots dips and gravel repairs. Worth the trip just prepare for changes in quality of road.

charlotte pruitt

Terrific photo op.

Beverly Campbell

Nice little town of Dawson Creek. Visitor center very helpful

Margaret Pater

Nice and informative

Virginia Crenshaw

loved it

Marie-Eve S.

So much Wildlife sightings

Peter N

This is it. The start of the Alaska Highway. Ending milepost is in Delta Junction Alaska at Mile 1422. Looks like they were created by the same artist.

Val Kinnee

I mean, you have to stop and take a picture but it's in the middle of an active street. If you stay on the sidewalk you're too far away and if you go to the actual market you are too close. You gotta do it tho', just be careful.

Jake Smith

I drove 18 hours for this... totally worth it.

Lindsay Smith

Awesome stop along the AlCan. Super friendly staff at the tourism center. A lot of helpful info for the route to come!

Tanya Minchau

Even in -20°Celsius when the sun shines it is absolutely glorious

Michael Gerhold

We did it a long road but we did it

Linda Burrows

Very friendly and helpful

andrea manu

Had been there 5 years ago....looks a bit abandoned now.

Gerald Knutson

Great photo op

Patty Turner

Start of another adventure! Great place!

Roizman Monteiro

A milestone moment! The history surrounding that place was beautifully explained in writing. Felt like the start of a highly adventurous journey for those intending to undertake the long drive to Alaska. But for most others, constrained like myself, just being there was a good enough :)

dennis smith

Lots of information stop by and get it

Caitlin Fraser

I find it amusing so many people take photos of this sign for a hwy.

Roland Gosse

Stunning views occasionally. Always takes me far from home but always brings me back again.
