3 Tour 1 Alaskan Highway Northbound Tour 1 Alaskan Highway Northbound (Escorted) The greatest RV driving adventure in North America nicknamed the Alcan awaits you when you set sail from Dawson Creek in British Columbia or Delta Junction in Alaska. Today, almost all the two-lane highway is surfaced with asphalt. But it s no freeway. There still are stretches where the highway is narrow and curvy, where it lacks centre lines and ample shoulders. Also, watch out for sudden loose-gravel breaks where the pavement has failed or is under repair. Sometimes the gravel gaps are marked with little, red flags; sometimes they aren t. And that asphalt paving can ripple like a roller coaster track in places where frost heaves are caused by seasonal freezing and thawing of the ground. This touring adventure has been in operation for the past six years and the itinerary enhanced to a twenty two day drive staying at seventeen RV parks. The Harvey World Travel Motor Home Convoy has extended this drive from Seattle to Anchorage in the spring and in reverse in the autumn.
