Directions between Fairbanks to Whitehorse From Fairbanks: Travel South on the Alaska Highway through Delta Junction then Tok, cross the Canadian border at Beaver Creek, and continue on to Haines Junction. In Haines Junction, keep on the Alaska Hwy East to Whitehorse. (See precautions noted above) Plan your rests, meals, and fuel stops on this trip! It will take a long time (approximately 12 hours or more) and there will not be many good refueling opportunities along the way so plan ahead! Many gas stations have limited hours – so check ahead and bring extra fuel for this 590 mile trip. From Whitehorse: Travel North on the Alaska Hwy through Haines Junction. At Haines Junction, turn right following signs to Fairbanks, Alaska. It is best to fuel up before leaving Haines Junction – Beaver Creek and Destruction Bay can be unreliable for gas stations. Between Burwash Landing and Beaver Creek, the highway is chock full of serious frost heaves, pot holes and rough road. Take your time in this section and slow down! Just after Beaver Creek, you will go through American Customs at Alcan Crossing. Starting at Gerstle River until roughly 6 miles East of Delta, watch closely for buffalo (bison) who are not shy about being on the road. From here continue along the highway until you reach Fairbanks. United States / Canada Border Crossing A passport will be required for all travelers crossing the American/ Canadian border.
