Alaska Highway Mile ‘0’ Milepost

Located less than a five-minute drive from our Dawson Creek hotel, the famous Mile ‘0’ Milepost marks the official starting point of the legendary Alaska Highway. Set at the junction of Highway 97 and Highway 49, this historic landmark draws travelers from around the world who stop to capture a photo and celebrate the beginning of their northern journey. More than just a photo stop, the Mile ‘0’ Milepost stands as a lasting symbol of exploration, discovery, and Dawson Creek’s deep connection to the Alaska Highway.

Just steps away, visitors can explore Northern Alberta Railways Park and the Dawson Creek Art Gallery. Housed in a beautifully restored prairie grain elevator, the gallery features local art, historical exhibits, and a charming gift shop filled with regional creations. Tourism Dawson Creek is also nearby, offering maps, travel tips, and welcoming advice to help plan your adventure through northern British Columbia and beyond.
