Alaska Highway Between Tok, Alaska, USA and Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada

This is in the Mackenzie Mountains not too far from Whitehorse. Although many people believe the Mackenzie Mountains to be a northern extension of the Rocky Mountains, they actually are not at all geologically related to the Rockys.

This was taken on the Alaska Highway, on possibly one of the most isolated stretches of it, between Tok, Alaska, USA and Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada, taken in the middle of the Yukon Territory of Canada. This was quite literally in the middle of nowhere, with rest areas about 50 miles apart, with nothing but random outhouses with no plumbing, some random gas stations, hotels, restaurants, and lodges with a combination of these services here and there along the highway. Cars travel on this highway relatively frequently, although some areas are less traveled than others.
