Top of the World Highway Dawson City Yukon to Chicken Alaska


Here we are getting on the Ferry to cross the Yukon River to go to the Top of the World Highway.

Crossing the Yukon River, this RV floats.

Getting off the Ferry across the Yukon River to Top of the World Highway.

This ones for brother John.

Up over 3,000 feet and just started.

Miles of roads.

Miles and miles of mountains, trees, alpine meadows and dirt roads just full of dust.

View at pullout.

What a view, words and pictures can't describe. See why they call it Top of the World Highway.

Canadian Rockies

Canadian Rocky Mountains in the distance.

Out Crop

Unbelievable Views

Looks like Wales where's the sheep?

Moment of truth.

Hope they can't send us back.

Almost across.

This is the barracks, I think this is where they send border patrol guards they want to punish.

We made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nowhere Alaska high on a mountain probably high 40sF freezing cold.
Vast Alaska

Valleys with rivers below.

Breathtaking views some thousands of feet down.

GoldPanner RV Park Chicken, Alaska.




Neat posts looks like wood gnarls and mining junk everywhere. They don't through anything away up here it costs to much. Bill's in heaven mechanical junk everywhere.

Aug. 09, 2012 Well here we are we made it to Alaska finally. After a dull day yesterday, White Horse to Dawson City Yukon, this was a grueling run. One hundred miles of dirt road across the tops of mountains. Narrow roads straight down drop offs thousands of feet. But words can't describe the views, definitely gods country. Only 70 more miles tomorrow and its back to the Alaskan Highway and on to Fairbanks. We'll see if we beat the convoy. Hanging out the window to get a WiFi signal and its suppose to be down to 30F to night so I'm freezing, good night. Oh Chicken is named so because they couldn't spell Ptarmigan, its a Alaskan Prairie Chicken.
