Weather: Sunny, Warm
Mileage: 281miles
Lodging: The George Dawson Inn
The next leg of our trek took us through a chunk of British Columbia and we eventually ended our day in Dawson Creek, BC. Dawson Creek is also known as "Mile 0" of the Alaska (ALCAN) Highway. Somehow, this fact slipped my mind and I didn't get a picture of the famous mile-marker! Doh!
I did manage to snap some other great pictures though! The scenery really started to change once we got farther into British Columbia. Our day started out with HUGE mountains, those gradually changed into rolling hills and farmland though. I wouldn't say that this part of our trip was the most scenic by any means. It was a very easy and stress-free leg of the trip though. Towns and amenities were much more frequent, which gave us a little bit of peace. The terrain was also incredibly easy, as most of it was relatively flat.
Dawson Creek was a nice little town to stay in for the night. I could definitely see why people like to visit this famous city on their ALCAN trip. While it may not have been my favorite leg of the trip, it was certainly a relaxing part of it. I recommend staying the night in Dawson Creek, getting some tasty food delivered, and relaxing/refueling for your other days of driving. It's a great spot to fit in a day of r&r!
Questions:
Do you ever take a "rest day" on big trips?
Have you ever visited Dawson Creek, BC?
