Mile Zero
Located in the picturesque Beacon Hill Park in British Columbia’s capital, Mile 0 is one of the symbolic starting points of the Trans-Canada Highway on the Pacific Coast. The highway, conceived in the late 1940s and constructed between 1950 and 1971, was the longest uninterrupted highway in the world at the time of its completion. Spanning a whopping 4,860 miles (7,821 kilometers), it runs across all 10 of Canada’s provinces, crossing the Rocky Mountains and the wide-open prairies of central Canada.
