Top of the World…Highway that is….

It’s a little chilly but the overnight rain has stopped and it looks like it’s gonna hold off for the rest of the day.

The Top of the World Highway is a 127-kilometre (79 mi) long highway, beginning at a junction with the Taylor Highway near Jack Wade, Alaska traveling east to the end the ferry terminal in West Dawson, on the western banks of the Yukon River. The highway has been in existence since at least 1955 and is only open during the summer months. The entire portion of the highway in Yukon is also known as Yukon Highway 9 and the Alaska portion is referred to it as Top of the World Highway.

The highway gets it’s name because along much of its length, it skirts the crest of the hills, giving looks down on the valleys. It is also one of the most northerly highways in the world at those latitudes. Two nearby, farther north highways are the Dempster and the Dalton Highways. It is not particularly safe in winter, even for snowmobile use, due to the lack of trees for shelter.

Along the way to Dawson City I came across a small town called “Chicken”… Chicken is a community founded on gold mining and is one of the few surviving gold rush towns in Alaska. The population was seven at the 2010 Census, but, usually year round, there are 17 inhabitants…that’s what I call small!!!
