  • Klondike Highway Road Log
    Klondike Highway Road Log This 717 km/445 mile road, which is mostly paved, connects Skagway Alaska and Dawson City Yukon , heart of the Klondike. Beginning at Skagway, the road climbs for 14 miles/22.5 km to the 3,292 foot/1003 m summit near the Alaska/Canada border. Between Skagway and the border the road roughly parallels the old White Pass Trail, an alternate to the Chilkoot Trail which ultimately proved more popular as it was the shorter of the two climbs. The only population center along the 114 miles/183 km of connecting routes between Skagway and Whitehorse is the small community of Carcross. At present, there are no services between Skagway and Carcross. The mileage markers along the way indicate the distance from Skagway.
