A Guide to the Alaska Highway ("Alcan")

Bear Creek Lodge, at Km 1589.1 (Historic Mile 1022). In November 2006, a few months after this photo was taken, the lodge closed forever when the owners declared bankruptcy following a government order to complete a $20,000 septic system upgrade. The sad reality of the modern Alaska Highway is that few travelers stop at these lodges anymore. We are compiling histories of every lodge that has operated on the highway - see "Historic Alaska Highway Lodges & Roadhouses".
