Step on the gas!
Our goal was to make it from the North Pole, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon. We didn’t realize until later in the day that the Canadian border closed at 8PM! So the race is on, as we try to cross the border before it closes for the night!
In this video:
- We spot the Alaskan pipeline
- Stop in Delta Junction – the end of the Alaskan Highway
- Sample some Alaskan meat (and bought some Yak sticks)
- See Chicken, Alaska – an old gold mining camp
- Spot some wild caribou
- And made it to the Alaskan/Canadian border just minutes before they closed!…whew!
- Drive the “Top of the World Highway” in northern Yukon
- Take in a gorgeous sunset at Midnight Dome Viewpoint overlooking the Yukon River, near Dawson City, Yukon
