After dumping our tanks and buying propane, we headed across on the ferry to the Top of the World Highway. The road runs along the top of a ridge to the American border, making it very scenic! Unfortunately there were low clouds, so even though we had great views, it makes it hard to get decent pictures of what we saw. According to maps, the road is paved, but I think they are slowly converting it to gravel. There are massive potholes in the paved sections, so the gravel parts were actually easier and smoother!
We had no issues going into the States – no line ups to cross way up here! The gravel road was much worse on the American side, but other than that and the numerous hunting groups we saw, there wasn’t any difference – the road was still running along a ridge providing awesome views. We were also able to see a couple groups of caribou in the forest and on the road.
We bypassed Chicken (it looked too touristy and tacky!), hit the paved road, and drove down to the Alaska Highway and back into Canada. Canadian customs isn’t at the border along the highway – its 26 km southeast in Beaver Creek! Along the way, we saw a mother and baby moose. Again, no problems getting back into Canada and we stopped at the first campground in Beaver Creek.
