Canada Top of the World Highway

TheTop of the World Highway is a 127 km-long (79 mi) gravel road that connects Dawson City in Yukon (Canada) and the Taylor Highway in Alaska (USA). It passes the border station Poker Creek / Little Gold Creek. Usually it is impassable and closed for about 9 months every year and open only in summer. On the 30th of August we encountered heavy snowfall which was picturesque on the autumn leaves.

At Dawson the road begins at the Yukon River ferry, in Alaska at a junction with the Taylor Highway. There is little trafic on this broad road and there are a many places to park a vehicle.
