Scouting the Route

Have you ever driven the Alcan -- or just wished you could? The 1,520-mile road through Canada and Alaska is a magnet for adventurous travelers.

There are some hardships: rough pavement, dust, mud, and long empty stretches between the few settlements supplying food, gas, and a place to stay.

The payoff? Beautiful landscapes, wildlife, and a feeling of freedom. Scout the Alaska Highway's route with two American Experience producers.
