Campbell Highway

Administrative Unit: Yukon Territory

In the south-east of the Yukon Territory, near Watson Lake, Campbell Highway No. 4 (573 km (356 mil.) in length in all) branches off to the north from the Alaska Highway and after some 356 km (220 mi.) passes through the township of Ross River, then after a further 60 km (37 mi.) reaches the town of Faro and finally joins up with the Klondike Highway near Carmacks by the Yukon River.

Campbell Highway follows the trail of the Scotsman Robert Campbell who in the 19th c. crossed rivers and passes and pushed forward into the very center of the Yukon Territory in order to set up trading posts for the Hudson's Bay Company.
