Top of the World Highway, Scenic mountain highway between Dawson City and Tok, Canada and Alaska
The Top of the World Highway extends 301 kilometers through mountain ranges, connecting the Yukon Territory with interior Alaska at high elevations.
Construction of this northern transportation route concluded in 1955, establishing a vital link between gold mining communities in Alaska and Yukon Territory.
The route passes through territories where Indigenous peoples maintained traditional hunting grounds and migration paths before the establishment of the international border.
The highway remains accessible from May to September, with the Little Gold-Poker Creek border crossing operating during daylight hours in this period.
The road includes North America's northernmost international border crossing point, situated at an elevation of 1,376 meters above sea level.
