Tuesday, July 6th, We left Tok and took a windy, often gravel road up to Chicken. We drove along the Mountain ridge, sometimes a bit scary, steep drop offs, no shoulder or guardrail and huge RV's that hog the road. We went through an area where a wildfire in 2004 burned 1.3 million acres. Alaska has on average 700 wildfires a season.
Chicken is a town of 21 in summer and 6 in winter when the road closes and it is a very long snowmobile ride. It has 3 businesses, All three are in the photo!
We continued up higher on razor back ridge to the Canadian boarder at 4,127 feet, with 1000 foot drop offs. Paige was not a happy camper. After the border we took the "Top of the World" highway to Dawson City, and it did seem like we were driving along the top of the world. Spectacular views. After 175 miles we came down the Mountain to the Yukon.
