Funny reading the comments about different drivers perspectives on road conditions.
I did Top of the World in October, 2005 in a truck camper. Going to do it again this October in an 2 year old coach. By the time I get done spending September in Alaska, the rig will be a mess anyway. I'll probably clean it up after I get back to the states. It'll be really messed up by then. Can't wait - will be my 1st time back to Alaska since 2005.
This was a ice cloud on the ToW road approaching the border.
Just for reference for those who plan to drive the Top of the World Hwy. or the Taylor Hwy. route during October :
For those planning to cross the International Border in either direction that late in the season, there is a current trend that travellers might be out of luck in doing so as CBP and CBSA Poker Creek Station had recently decided to close the border crossing earlier than usual.....
In 2017, the border closure was effective on September 25th.
In 2018, the border closure was effective on September 23rd.
They were posted scheduled closures not due to any typical bad weather or road related conditions either as in the past when it was a more random decision upon when to close the border for the season, so keep that in mind.
