This road is paved and there are still mining claims all along this stretch. I didn’t do the last portion to Eagle, but instead turned right at the junction to Yukon. The Taylor Highway, Alaska Highway 5, stretches from Tetlin Junction to Eagle, AK. Check if it is open before traveling if you travel in the months of April or October. Note that this road is only open seasonally, from April to October. This highway is great for views and unique experiences in Chicken and Dawson City – it’s like a step back in time to the wild west.


The highway is paved in Alaska, but the driving the Top of the World Highway (Yukon portion) is gravel. The Taylor Highway and the Top of the World Highway stretches 171 miles from Tetlin Junction, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon.
