Mackenzie Highway Mile Zero Marker

Mackenzie Highway Mile Zero Marker in Grimshaw offers travellers an easy roadside stop to capture photos at the official start of the Mackenzie Highway. Set within the Tom Baldwin Memorial Arboretum and the Historic Mackenzie Highway Park, this monument is simple to find just off Highway 2 as it passes through town. Visitors can stretch their legs, read the marker, and appreciate the sense of setting out toward Alberta’s far north. Beside the monument, a historic Northern Alberta Railway car adds another distinctive photo opportunity.
