While gas stations may be plentiful along the Alaska Highway these days, mechanics can often be 100 miles away or farther. So be sure that your vehicle is in top shape before leaving home. RV parks have replaced many of the old time lodges along the Alaska Highway, but there is no shortage of motel-type accomodations. Government-operated campgrounds are available in British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Alaska, as are picnic areas. There are quite a few privately maintained campgrounds, and most lodges have space for campers.
Meals can be expensive along the highway.
Best food in all 1,390 miles of the Alaska Highway is at Rika's Roadhouse, just north of Delta Junction, Alaska. Save up an appetite for home made chicken noodle soup and turkey sandwiches . Another good lunch stop is Talbot Arm Motel at Destruction Bay, in the Kluane Lake area of Yukon Territory where the chili is excellent. Also recommended are the Westmark Toy and Fast Eddy's Restaurant, also in Tok. Buy groceries from time to time for light breakfasts and picnic lunches.
