The Top Of the World Highway runs from the Taylor Highway in Alaska to Dawson City in the Yukon. Chicken is a tiny community on the Alaska side. The two countries actually share the same Customs and Immigration building.
It really ends in West Dawson where you take a ferry across the Yukon River to Dawson City. There is no dock and the ferry just rams an earth ramp.
The Highway is so named because it runs along the top of the hills rather than in valleys giving spectacular views. It is a summer only highway because it is so exposed and is one of the most northerly of roads.
Contrary to what a certain on line Encyclopedia says a good portion of it is not paved and is more dirt than gravel.
My ex travelled it in a rainstorm last summer and said her car towed behind her motorhome was a just a brown lump. Somewhere the road also removed the Hydralic tank for her slide out on the motorhome.
I believe Mark was the closest so go ahead with the next question.
And I really did think that was an easy one.
