A Guide to the Alaska Highway ("Alcan")

Johnson's Crossing Lodge at Km 1296.2 (Historic Mile 836) was one of the first lodges on the Alaska Highway, opening in about 1948. The original building was demolished in the mid-1990s, but although it was closed for a few years, it's serving travellers again. Ellen Davignon grew up in the old lodge, which was built by her father - she tells that story in her wonderful book The Cinnamon Mine: An Alaska Highway Childhood.
