Central Access Route
This is a meandering, mostly 2-lane road through Washington’s Okanogan valley and British Columbia’s Okanagan (spelled with 3 a’s) valley, a popular tourist area for summer water sports, fresh fruit stands and wineries. This route then heads north through the Cariboo Mountains via Yellowhead Highway 5, accessing Wells Gray Provincial Park (famous for its waterfalls).
The Central Access Route junctions with Yellowhead Highway 16 at Tete Jaune Cache, where travelers have 2 choices to reach Dawson Creek and the start of the Alaska Highway: Drive west on Yellowhead Highway 16 to Prince George, then north on Highway 97/Hart Highway to Dawson Creek, a distance of 416 miles/669 km; or drive east on Yellowhead Highway 16 through Jasper National Park to Hinton, then take the Bighorn Route/Highway 40 north to Grande Prairie, then Highways 43/2 to Dawson Creek, for a total driving distance of 400 miles/644 km.

Deh Cho Route (Hauptroute)
Named after the Mackenzie River—Deh Cho is Slavey Dene for “big river”—the Deh Cho route is a 795-mile/1,279-km wilderness loop connecting Grimshaw in the Peace River region of northern Alberta with the Alaska Highway in British Columbia by way of the Mackenzie River region of Northwest Territories. The Deh Cho also provides access to an additional 700 miles/1,127 km of Northwest Territories’ road system. Road conditions range from 2-lane paved highway to hard-packed gravel. An active asphalt paving program is under way on the remaining gravel portions of Northwest Territories highways. The NWT government provides free summer ferry service for cars and passengers across the Liars River to Fort Simpson and across the Mackenzie River to Wrigley. In winter, traffic crosses on the ice. Current highway and ferry conditions are available online here. Visitor information on the Deh Cho Travel Connection, phone 1-800-661-0788.
This route follows Alberta Highway 35 north to the Alberta/NWT border, where it continues as NWT Highway 1 (the Waterfalls Route) to Checkpoint and the junction with the Liars Trail (NWT Highway 7/BC Highway 77). The Deh Cho “loop” is completed as the Liars Trail junctions with the Alaska Highway about 17 miles/27 km from Fort Nelson, BC.

East Access Route
The East Access Route in Alberta is one of 3 access routes to the Alaska Highway logged in The MILEPOST® (the others are the West and Central Access Routes both which depart Washington and travel through British Columbia). This was the first and only access route to Dawson Creek, BC—and the start of the Alaska Highway—when the Alaska Highway opened to civilian traffic in 1948. The original route differed somewhat from today’s because Highway 43 was not completed until 1955. Instead, motorists had to drive north from Edmonton via Highway 2 to Athabasca, then west to High Prairie, then south to Grande Prairie, AB. Today’s route goes directly from Edmonton to Grande Prairie and Dawson Creek via Highway 43 through Whitecourt and Valleyview.

West Access Route
For West Coast motorists, the West Access Route is the most direct route to Dawson Creek, BC, and the start of the Alaska Highway. The West Access Route links Interstate 5, Trans-Canada Highway 1 and BC Highway 97. The West Access Route junctions with Yellowhead Highway 16 at Prince George. This east–west highway connects Prince George with Prince Rupert, departure point for Alaska ferries, and with Edmonton on the East Access Route.

[AK 01 + Ak 09] Seward Highway
This 127 mile/204 km highway has been designated a National Forest Scenic Byway. It connects the cities of Anchorage and Seward traveling past salt water bays, ice-blue glaciers, and alpine valleys. The first 50 miles of the highway twists and turns along the base of the Church Mountains, and the shore of Turnagain Arm.
The 37-foot tides here are exceeded only by those in Nova Scotia’s Bay of Fundy. The waters racing out of the inlet expose miles of mud flats and when they return, frequently create 6-foot bore tides.
37 miles from Seward, the route joins the Sterling Highway which continues down the peninsula to Soldotna, Kenai, Ninilchik, Anchor Point, and Homer. The Alaska Railroad parallels the Seward Highway to Portage, where it has a branch line to Whittier Alaska -port for the Alaska Marine Ferry System. Alaska Marine Ferry System has service to Valdez and Cordova. The railroad also serves Seward, which was the original starting point of the Alaska Railroad.
Just past the turn-off for Portage Glacier, you will enter the Kenai Peninsula Borough – over 25,000 square miles of scenic park lands, forests, volcanoes, glaciers, coastline, rivers, and unique communities. Here it is easy to try your luck at hooking a world record king salmon or a giant halibut, photograph a Russian church, or view sea lions, whales, and seabirds on a scenic cruise, all on the same day!
Updates on Road Conditions and Construction: http://511.alaska.gov
Warning: The mudflats along the coast from Anchorage to Portage (Turnagain Arm) exhibit quicksand-like conditions. It is extremely dangerous to walk on the beach or mudflats in this area.

[AK 01] Glenn Highway
The Glenn Highway runs 328 miles/528 km from Anchorage to the Alaska Highway at Tok Junction. Its grades are moderate, and the entire route is paved. It parallels the Mentasta and Wrangell mountain ranges and spans the fertile, crop-producing Matanuska Valley. The area is populated by bear, moose, caribou, & Dall sheep, there is good grayling, trout & salmon fishing along the way in many of the streams and rivers.
Since you may be turning onto the Glenn Highway at Tok, the following highway description begins there. The mileage figures in bold correspond to the markers in place along this section of the Glenn Highway. The 125-mile road which connects the Alaska Highway and the Richardson Highway is referred to as the Tok cutoff. At mile 0 the Tok cut-off connects to the Richardson Highway at mile128.5 for 13 miles to the south Glenn/Richardson Junction at mile 115 of the Richardson, and then turns west for Anchorage. If you are continuing on to Valdez see Richardson Highway Log.

[AK 01] Sterling Highway
he Sterling Highway runs along the western edge of the Kenai Peninsula and features extraordinary mountain scenery, sparkling lakes, glacier-fed streams, and beautiful coastal inlets. Wildlife abounds along this scenic route and you’ll probably even encounter a giant Kenai moose. The highway begins at mile 37 of the Seward Highway and travels 142 miles to Homer at the southwest end of the Kenai Peninsula.  Mileage markers along this route read from Seward (mile 0) to Homer (mile 173). Details for the first 37 miles of this highway will be found in the highway description of the Seward Highway. The Sterling Highway accesses the towns of Cooper Landing, Sterling, Soldotna, Kenai, Clam Gulch, Ninilchik and Anchor Point. This is a good two lane highway with lots of passing lanes.
It was first opened in 1951 and was one of many roads surveyed by Hawley Sterling within Alaska. Some of the best fishing, camping, birding and hiking anywhere in the world can be found in the Kenai. The world record King salmon, caught on a line, was from the Kenai River.
After taking you through the Church National Forest and the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge the highway runs parallel to Cook Inlet and offers breathtaking views, across the water of snow capped Mt. Iliana, Mt. Redoubt, and Mt. Augustine. All of which are active volcanoes. Mt. Augustine last erupted in 2006 creating spectacular ash plumes that reached 8 miles high.
With over 15,000 square miles of extraordinary adventure and excitement to choose from, people from all over Alaska come to “Alaska’s Playground” when they need a reminder of why they moved here in the first place.
Campgrounds are plentiful in the Kenai and when the fish are running, competition for campsites and fishing space can be a challenge so plan ahead. The area near the Russian River and Kenai confluence is especially busy when the Red Salmon are running. The Kenai is also famous for clamming. However, due to a devastating storm that washed out the clam beds there was a total ban for harvesting clams at Clam Gulch and Ninilchik in 2015, which has been extended into 2016.
Kenny National Wildlife Refuge is home to moose, eagles, brown and black bears, lynx, wolves, trumpeter swans as well as a myriad of other birds and animals. The main Visitor Center is in Soldotna but there is a visitor contact station at mile 60 of the Sterling Highway.

[AK 02] Elliott Highway
The Elliott Highway leads northwest from Fox (11 miles north of Fairbanks) to Manley Hot Springs, a small settlement with a natural hot springs near the Tanana River. The Elliott Highway provides access to the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay. The highway was named for Malcolm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Commission from 1927 to 1932.
The Elliott Highway is paved to the Dalton Highway junction; the remaining 77 miles to Manley are mostly gravel, with a couple of sections of improved and/or chip-sealed road. Physical mileposts on the Elliott Highway indicate distance from Fox, located 11 miles north of Fairbanks at the junction with the Steese Highway. From Fox to the Dalton Highway junction, the Elliott Highway is a series of long upgrades and downgrades, as the road winds through the White Mountains. From the Dalton Highway junction to Manley, the road is narrow and winding, following the ridges and hills and providing a “top of the world” view of hundreds of square miles in all directions.

[AK 03] Parks Highway
Over twelve years and $150 million went into the completion of the Parks Highway, which extends through 358 miles/576 km of Alaska’s most rugged terrain. Yet this highway need not be feared, because it is the state’s widest and best  year-round road. There are over 40 bridges to cross with the longest being  a 1050-foot span of the Susanna River at mile 104. The most spectacular, Hurricane Gulch Bridge, at mile 174.3 is only half the length of the Susanna Bridge, but it is a breathtaking 254 feet above the white water of Hurricane Creek.
Denali, the nation’s tallest peak, lies about half way between Anchorage and Fairbanks and can be seen from both areas on a clear day: but there’s a much better view from mile 70 at Willow. At mile 104 there is a good view of the three tallest peaks in the Alaska Range: Foraker, Hunter and McKinley, left to right. At mile 132.5 you enter Denali State Park. Denali  “The Great One” is the Indian name for North America’s tallest peak. Perhaps the most spectacular view from the highway of this 20,310-foot mountain comes at mile 134.5.
The mileage figures in the following highway description correspond to the numbers appearing on the mileposts in place along most of the highway. The description begins in Anchorage and follows the route’s 358 miles to Fairbanks. The first 36 miles of this road log are on the Glenn Highway. As you reach Wasilla, you will join the Parks Highway.

[AK 04] Richardson Highway
The Richardson Highway is Alaska’s oldest highway. In 1898 a trail was pushed from Valdez to Eagle in the Interior of Alaska. Residents had requested money from Congress to improve the trail but by the time approval came through, the gold production in the Eagle area had declined. The funds were used instead to improve the Fairbanks portion because of the Felix Pedro find in Fairbanks. Stampeders left the Valdez to Eagle trail near the Gakona River and followed the river to its head waters. Here they joined the Castner trail which paralleled the Gulkana river to its source and then across the Alaska Range. They then traveled down the Delta and Tanana Rivers to Fairbanks. Major Wilds P. Richardson worked to upgrade the trail to a wagon road in 1910 after the Fairbanks gold rush. It was made suitable for vehicles in the 1920s and paved in 1957.
The Richardson Highway connects Valdez (mile 0) and Fairbanks (mile 364). The drive will take you through the spectacular and narrow Keystone Canyon and across the Thompson Pass where you will find Worthington Glacier, one of the few glaciers in the world that you can drive to. From Valdez to Delta Junction there are many opportunities to view the Alaska pipeline, which parallels the highway. Summits along the route are high, with the Thompson Pass peaking at 2,805 ft.

[AK 05] Taylor Highway
The Taylor Highway begins at Tetlin Junction on the Alaska Highway, 12 miles southeast of Tok, and ends at historic Eagle on the Yukon River. This is a beautiful “top of the world” drive.
The first 64 miles of the Taylor Highway are paved, with some sections damaged by mild to severe frost heaving. Road surface ranges from good to poor on the gravel portion, depending on maintenance. Rough spots are not always flagged. Shoulders are generally narrow and may be soft and unstable.
The Taylor Highway forks at Jack Wade Junction, Milepost TJ 95.5: the Boundary Spur Road goes east to the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, YT; the Taylor Highway continues north to Eagle. Between Chicken and Eagle, the Taylor Highway is narrow, winding, gravel road with many steep hills and some hairpin curves. The road from Jack Wade Junction to Eagle is not recommended for RVers.

[AK 06] Steese Highway
The Steese Highway, a designated Scenic Byway, connects Fairbanks with Circle, a small settlement on the Yukon River, 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle. The Steese Highway was completed in 1927 and named for Gen. James G. Steese, U.S. Army, former president of the Alaska Road Commission.

The first 81-miles of the Steese Highway good paved road. From pavement end it is wide gravel road into Central, where there is a short stretch of paved road. From Central to Circle, the highway is a narrow, winding gravel road the final 33 miles to Circle on the Yukon River.
This drive is especially colorful in late August and early September when the leaves turn. Acres of fireweed offer bright splashes of color in the summer and fall. Attractions along the Steese Highway include gold mine camps and mining artifacts, and Chatanika River and Chena River state recreation areas.

[AK 08] Denali Highway
The Denali Highway is certainly one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Much of the route lies above timberline, so the vistas go on forever. The mountains and glaciers of the Alaska Range form a majestic backdrop, with miles of rolling tundra punctuated by shallow lakes in between.
The Denali Highway stretches 135 miles from Paxson to Cantrell, connecting the Richardson and Parks highways. Before the Parks Highway was completed in the early 1970s, the Denali Highway was the only road access to Denali National Park. The road is mostly gravel (max speed varies from 35 – 55 mph depending on surface conditions), and winter conditions close the road every year from October through mid-May. Because of the gravel, you’ll need a rental car that allows you to drive here, like Alaska 4x4 Rentals and Alaska Auto Rental. Depending on when you drive the Denali Highway, you may see only a few dozen cars the entire length of the road.
You can drive the highway in a day, but we recommend at least one overnight. There are
three lodges along the highway: Tangle River Inn (MP 20), Maclaren River Lodge (MP 42), and Alpine Creek Lodge (MP 68). But you can camp anywhere along the highway. There are pullouts every couple miles, sufficiently large and flat even for 30+ foot RV’s.
If you’re into hiking, biking, fishing, 4-wheeling, or photography, you can create a 4-7 day wilderness experience without the expense of a fly-in. Dozens of hiking and 4-wheel trails lead back into the wilderness. Clearwater streams cross the highway in many places, where you can cast a line for grayling and other fish. The landscape photography opportunities are endless. (However, the wildlife photography isn’t great, because the area is hunted heavily in the fall.)
Many of the pullouts are in such sublime locations, that you’ll want to pull out your camp chair and take in the scene for hours. Three of our favorites are:
Rock Creek (MP 22.5), in the heart of the Tangle Lakes Archaeological District: Camp only feet from a crystal clear stream, access the easy 3-mile hike to Landmark Gap Lake right nearby, look for archaeological sites;
Maclaren Summit (MP 37): The sweeping views are as if you backpacked fora week to get to a beautiful alpine clearing;
Clearwater Creek Wayside (MP 55.5): Camp at the confluence of two creeks, the main one being the 100-foot wide sparkling Clearwater Creek.
If you choose this route, there are many scenic viewpoints and trails along the way. This guide covers the highlights.

[AK 10] Edgerton Highway / McCarthy Road
The Edgerton Highway (Alaska Route 10) is a scenic paved road leading 33.5 miles east from its junction with the Richardson Highway (Alaska Route 4) to the small town of Chitina. The McCarthy Road begins with 17 miles of pavement and continues with 41 miles of gravel east across the Copper River to deadend at the Kennicott River, about 1 mile west of the town of McCarthy and 6 miles from the historic mining area of Kennicott. Walk to McCarthy then take a shuttle van from McCarthy to Kennicott. If you are staying at local lodges, use the phone at the bridge to call for a shuttle. A major attraction here is the Kennecott Mill (pictured below).
Named for U.S. Army Major Glenn Edgerton of the Alaska Territorial Road Commission, the Edgerton Highway—known locally as the Edgerton Cutoff—provides access to homesteads in the Kenny Lake area and to the salmon dip-net fishery on the Copper River at Chitina.
The McCarthy Road follows the right-of-way of the old Copper River & Northwestern Railway. Begun in 1907, the CR&NW (also referred to as the “can’t run and never will”) was built to carry copper ore from the Kennecott Mines to Cordova.
The McCarthy Road is recommended for those who like adventurous driving. Watch for sharp rocks, railroad spikes, no shoulders, narrow sections of road, soft spots, washboard, potholes and a few “roller coaster” curves. Carry a spare tire. Not recommended for large RVs.
There is no vehicle access for visitors across the Kennicott River from the end of the McCarthy Road. The main course of the Kennicott River is crossed by a pedestrian bridge.

[AK 11] Dalton Highway
The 415-mile Dalton Highway (often still referred to as the “Haul Road”) begins at Milepost F 73.1 on the Elliott Highway, 84 miles from Fairbanks, and ends—for the general public—at Deadhorse/Prudhoe Bay, a few miles short of the Arctic Ocean.
The road is narrow and filled with truck traffic. Road conditions vary depending on weather, maintenance and time of year. Most of the road is gravel and subject to potholes and washboard. There are several steep (10 to 12 percent) grades. Flat tires are a common occurrence. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) recommends 2 full-sized spare tires mounted on rims.
The highway is named for James William Dalton, an arctic engineer involved in early oil exploration efforts on the North Slope. It was built as a haul road between the Yukon River and Prudhoe Bay during construction of the trans-Alaska pipeline, and was originally called the North Slope Haul Road. Construction of the road began April 29, 1974, and was completed 5 months later. The road is 28 feet wide with 3 to 6 feet of gravel roadbed.

For those who don’t want to drive themselves, commercial tours are available from Dalton Highway Express and Northern Alaska Tour Company. For those who don’t want to drive their own vehicles, rental car agencies, such as Arctic Outfitters, and Alaska Auto Rental in Fairbanks, offer vehicles that are permitted on the Dalton Highway.

[BC 37] Cassier Highway
Cassia Highway 37 is a 724 km/450 mile long road which provides an excellent alternate route for visitors traveling to or from the Yukon or Alaska.
The Cassiar Highway knives through mountain-river-lake-glacier country. There  are several communities enroute. Time should be allowed for a visit to the neighboring towns of Stewart BC and Hyder Alaska, reached by a 65 km/40mile highway which opens up some of the North’s most spectacular glacier and mountain scenery.This area of British Columbia and Alaska is one of the most beautiful you will visit on your trip north. Long renowned for its glaciers and waterfalls, one of the top attractions still has to be the friendly people.
The Cassiar Highway 37 originally was a combination of logging and mine haul roads. The highway has been improved, however, and for the most part has been  realigned.
Although there are some sections under construction, the road is fine for campers, motorhomes and vehicles towing trailers.
Some services listed in the following highway log are not open all year. Fill your tank at all opportunities and you will have no problems.
Distances along the Cassiar Highway are marked by KILOMETER posts. (A kilometer  is 6/10 mile.) Numbers shown in the highway log correspond to kilometer posts on the side of the Highway.

[YT 01 + AK 02] Alaska Highway
The Alaska Highway was the engineering marvel of World War II and was once described as the largest and most difficult construction project since the Panama Canal. Whether this is your first time driving to Alaska or you’re a seasoned traveller of the Alaska highway, we hope the following information will be an asset. Stretching 2,224 Km/1382 miles (Originally 1422 miles) from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction Alaska. The Alcan Highway is mostly paved in Canada and all paved in Alaska.
The highway surface is paved or chip sealed (which is more common), however, there are still rough patches and construction to watch for. Most problem areas are marked by signs, but not all so stay alert. You may encounter long sections of new chip seal which can be very dusty so drive with your headlights on at all times. Finally, pay close attention to all highway signs as they will alert you to changing road conditions.
The original highway was marked with mileposts in 1947 and many of the towns and highway lodges along the way became known by their milepost number. Even today, many lodges use Historical Mileposts (HM) to refer to their location.
The Canadian portion of The Highway is now marked with kilometre posts and due to highway reconstruction and re-routing over the years, the road is now 64 km (40 miles) shorter than the original Alaska Highway. Alaska, however, has not changed the original mileposts, so there is a mileage discrepancy of 40 miles when you cross the border.
From Dawson Creek, the Alaska Highway extends almost 970 km/595 miles to Lower Post where it enters the Yukon. The highway winds through the Yukon for about 892 km/550 miles and crosses into Alaska at mile 1182/km 1903. Continuing on to Delta Junction at mile 1422/km 2224, the Alaska Highway joins the Richardson Highway for the remaining 98 miles/158 km to Fairbanks AK.
Delta Junction

[YT 02] Klondike Highway
The 715 km/445 mile Klondike Highway, which is mostly paved, connects Skagway Alaska and Dawson City Yukon, heart of the Klondike. Beginning at Skagway, the road climbs for 14 miles/22.5 km to the 3,292 foot/1003 m summit near the Alaska/Canada border.The Highway roughly parallels the route taken by the prospectors in the 1898 Klondike Gold Rush. The only population center along the 114 miles/183 km of connecting routes between Skagway and Whitehorse is the small community of Carcross.
The last section of the highway, from Skagway to Carcross was completed in 1978 and became part of the Klondike Highway 2. In 1986 it became important as a commercial trucking route, with the abandonment of the White Pass Railroad from Carcross to Whitehorse.
As the highway winds out of Skagway towards Whitehorse you will encounter beautiful lakes and rivers. The only population center between Skagway and Whitehorse is the community of Carcross, however, there are several small communities between Whitehorse and Dawson.

[YT 03] Haines HIghway
The Haines Highway is one of the most spectacular drives in the North. In 2009 it was awarded the distinction of National Scenic Byway and when you drive it you will understand why. The Highway is 247 km and is an excellent road. It essentially follows the trail used by the Chilkat / Tinglit First Nations who traded with the Athabaskan First Nations in the interior of the Yukon. It was originally called the “Grease Trail” as the main commodity was oil from the candle fish found in the ocean near Haines. In the late 1800s the trail was improved by Jack Dalton, an explorer and white trader, who recognized the importance of the route and established several Trading Posts. The trail was developed before the Klondike Gold Rush and the ever entrepreneurial Dalton charged a fee to hopeful miners on their way to the Klondike.
It is now part of the “Golden Circle Route” Which links Whitehorse, Skagway, Haines and Haines Junction. This route includes a one hour ride on the Alaska Marine Highway between Haines and Skagway. This is a highly recommend side trip on your Northern Adventure.

[YT 05] Dempster Highway
The Dempster Highway begins about 25 miles/40 km east of Dawson City, YT, at its junction with the Klondike Highway, and ends at Inuvik, NWT. Facilities are few and far between. It is strongly recommended that motorists carry a full-sized spare tire (or 2 spare tires if they are an unusual size) as well as extra water and gas.
Construction of the Dempster Highway began in 1959 and was finally completed in 1978, although it did not officially open until Discovery Day weekend in 1979. It was named for Inspector William John Duncan Dempster of the RCMP.
Although in relatively good condition, this highway requires drivers pay attention at all times for sudden changes in road surface, including frost heaves, potholes, boggy or slick stretches, crushed shale (hard on tires) and other drivers. Drivers should pull-over (if space allows) for oncoming trucks or to allow trucks to pass. Drive with your headlights on at all times. Free ferries transport motorists across the Peel River and the Mackenzie River. Ferries operate about 15 hours a day in summer/fall, from 9 a.m. to 1 a.m. between late May or early June to mid-October or first week in November. Crossing is on demand ferry service and/or ice bridge in winter.
Ferries can close with little or no notice due to various conditions, including freeze-up and break-up, so check current Highway & Ferry Conditions posted online under Highways & Ferries, or by phoning 1-800-661-0750.

The Canol Road was part of the Canol (Canadian Oil) Project: it was built in 1942-44 to provide access to oil fields at Norman Wells, NWT. Rebuilt in the 1950s, the road is maintained to minimum standards in summer. Trees may be blocking the road in areas too narrow to turn around. Services are available only at Johnson’s Crossing and at Ross River. The Canol Road it is not recommended for large RVs or trailers. Not recommended for any size vehicle in wet weather. Drive with headlights on at all times.
The Canol Road between Johnson’s Crossing on the Alaska Highway and Ross River on the Campbell Highway is referred to as the South Canol Road, while the road between Ross River and the YT–NWT border is referred to as the North Canol Road.
The 137-mile/220-km South Canol Road is a narrow winding road. There are some 1-lane bridges, sections of rough road, occasional road closures due to washouts, and no services. Driving time is about 4 hours one way in good weather and if there are no obstructions. The 144-mile/232-km North Canol Road is also a narrow, very winding road with possible washouts, no services, and 1-lane bridges; inquire about road conditions in Ross River before driving. The North Canol ends at the YT–NWT border, where vehicles may turn around. From the border to Norman Wells it is 230 miles/372 km of unusable road that has been designated the Canol Heritage Trail by the NWT government.

[YT 09 + AK 05] Top of the World Highway
The Top of the World Highway is really two highways. Yukon Highway 9 in Canada and the Taylor Highway 5 in Alaska. There is a 13 mile road, from the Border to the Taylor Highway, called the Boundary Spur road. It is 175 mile/281 km from the junction of the Taylor and Alaska Highway to Dawson City, Yukon. At Jack Wade Junction the Taylor Highway continues 65 miles to Eagle. The highway is open during the summer and becomes a snow machine only trek in the winter.
At mile 66 of the Taylor Highway you will find the community of Chicken, home of the Pedro Gold Dredge and Tisha’s Schoolhouse. The road has mostly been reconstructed between Tetlin Junction and Chicken and is usually in pretty good condition. Chicken is a good place to stay over as there is lots to see and do in this historic community.
The road from Chicken to Jack Wade Junction is gravel and can be challenging. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. From Jack Wade to the Border the road is newly paved. The Canada/US border is open during the summer from 8 to 8 Alaska time and 9 to 9 Yukon time. From the Border to Dawson City, the road is chip sealed.
When entering or leaving Dawson City on the Top of the World Highway, you will need to take the George Black Ferry. It crosses the Yukon River, for free, 24 hours a day in the summer.
Note: Gas is only available at Chicken, between Dawson City and Tetlin Junction.
