Dawson Creek (population: 10,994) is located in northeastern BC, near the border with Alberta. Known as Peace River Country, the area is part of the Great Interior Plains. The town has long been a farming centre and, when construction on the Alaska Highway began in 1942, it became a tourism centre as well. No visit to Dawson Creek is complete without a stop at the Mile Zero Cairn, which marks the beginning of the famous highway and the starting point for hundreds of motorists on their way to Alaska.
