Maintenance and Use of Alaska Highway: 1944-Present Archives Gallery
7/43
This poem, inscribed in mud on the back of a tourist’s camper in Whitehorse, eloquently states one visitor’s opinion of the Alaska Highway:
"ALA. HWY. (Alaska Highway) WORST ROAD EVER BEEN DOWN FOR EVERY MILE FORWARD I GO 2 MILES UP AND DOWN". For many years, the trip on the Alaska Highway was tough. Now the highway is mostly paved or chip sealed.
