Top of the World Highway

Alaska Highway Mile 1283 - Long mountain climb up the Top of the World Highway packed dirt road from Dawson City Yukon to Chicken Alaska. Airstream #13349 followed by #5591 leave a trail of dust as they summit the boundary mountain at 4,500 ft located on the West 141 degree meridian separating Canada from Alaska.  These roads are hard packed dirt with calcium chloride treatment to survive the deep freezing temperatures, and provide a really good surface that on good stretches you can drive up to 50 mph.
