Mile 0 Alaska Highway
After visiting Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway in Dawson Creek, I continued north through Fort St. John and into Rose Prairie, British Columbia. The landscape shifted between rolling prairie farmland, boreal forest, and large oil and gas operations. Along the way I photographed the northern evening light, learned about conservation farming techniques, and explored the region where the massive Chinchaga Fire began in 1950.
Chetwynd, BC
A long drive through northern British Columbia turned into an unexpectedly interesting day of frozen lakes, roadside conversations, drifting logs, small-town cafés, and hours exploring the massive chainsaw carvings of Chetwynd. What started as a simple drive north toward Dawson Creek and Mile 0 of the Alaska Highway became one of those travel days where the unplanned stops became the story.
