Drive along the Alaska Highway, and you will encounter one of the most unique places in the world.  Everything is evident in this picture.

The picture is an usie we took while sitting on a bench in what would be described as “in the middle of nowhere.”  It is unique in that it is no ordinary bench.  The bench forms the border between the nations of Canada and the United States of America.  I am sitting on the Canadian side, and Charlene is on the American side.

Not only that, but I am also in Yukon, and Charlene is still in Alaska.  

There is even more!

Even though we are shoulder to shoulder in this picture, we are an hour apart.  The bench also serves as the marker between time zones.

It is also one of the few border crossings you can freely walk about.

It’s a pretty cool location and a pretty cool pic.  

  • It is located at the border of Alaska, USA and Yukon, Canada.  It is easy to miss the uniqueness of where it is.  It is very easy to find since flags and signs show the change of countries.
  • The border is cut through the trees and can be seen for some distance.
  • Look for this location on my Featured Map as Canada – USA International Boundary Marker.
  • Free site to visit.
