Yukon Kluane, Klondike & Alaska Loop
Depart from Whitehorse, enter Alaska via Kluane, drive the Top of the World Highway to Dawson City, and loop back.
This is the Yukon's most established summer self-drive loop, connecting the Southern Lakes, the Kluane mountains, and the gold rush heritage of Dawson City over a total distance of about 1,700 km. Most sections are paved, while the Top of the World Highway is gravel. Start early on the two long-distance driving days, and allow two full days in Dawson City. US entry eligibility is required. This route does not include Tombstone Territorial Park or the Dempster Highway; if you wish to drive to the Arctic Circle, please refer to our other itinerary.
The Little Gold Creek border crossing is typically open from late May to mid-September with limited daily hours, making this loop possible only in summer.
