Alaska Highway route,  British Columbia, Canada 21

Alaska Highway route, British Columbia, Canada 21

Description : The bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 spurred construction of the Alaska Highway. Alaska was considered vulnerable to a Japanese invasion, and the highway was deemed a military necessity. Construction of the Alaska Highway began in March 1942, and was completed 8 months later.
Almost a wonder of the world, the highway scenery is breathtaking for visiting drivers who have come to rediscover that pioneer spirit on their way to the Alaska heartland. The best mountain scenery alongside the Alaska Highway is not in the Yukon, but is in Muncho Lake Provincial Park.
