The Dawson City Bunkhouse
Top of the World
Eleven hour riding day via Delta Junction and Tok to the Top of the World Hwy. so called because of the vast vistas making you feel as though you are looking down on the world.
The road was in very good condition, paved within 3
miles of Chicken, then 40 mph gravel to the Canadian border, the Canadian side was mostly gravel, but 50+ mph.
Chicken got its name for the ptarmigan abundance, sometimes called prairie chicken, so they wanted to call it Ptarmigan. But they could not agree how to spell it so said hell let’s just call it Chicken.
Saw 3 moose today , one cow with a baby, they were just 20 ft off the road but I spooked them when I stopped, so just got this poor photo.
Tagish tonight.
