Top of the World Highway

The Top of the World Highway owes its name to the many plateau and ranges of hills - mainly above the tree-line - over which it runs on its route between Dawson and then westwards to Alaska. The border is passed after covering a 107 km (66 mi.) stretch of road with some of the most impressive panoramic views imaginable. From the border it is a further 181 km (112 mi.) to Tetlin Junction, where the Alaska Highway is reached.
