Exploring the Alaska Highway

Km 1295 (Historic Mile 835): junction with the Canol Road, or "South Canol". A hundred yards up the Canol is a large rest area with outhouses, several old trucks, and several interpretive panels. This photo was shot on April 3, 2011.

The South Canol is a gravel road that gets increasingly rough as you proceed north - there are no services until reaching Ross River, 226 km away, and services there are minimal.
