Alcan Hwy from Destruction Bay, YT to Tok, AK
225 Miles of frost heaves and even some gravel.
It was so bad I decided going back home to take “The Top of the World Hwy” from Chicken, AK to Dawson City, YT. The American side of that road is two lane gravel. Hewn into the side of cliffs with no guard rails or shoulder. Mesmerizing views but terrorizing when meeting gravel haulers coming down at you at two or three times your speed. There is literally no place to go. You just pull as close to the edge and stop praying they miss you.
