A trip up to Eagle is a good drive, if you want to say you have done it. For a number of years there was a passenger ferry/tour boat running from Dawson Town to Eagle and back to Dawson. Think I remember hearing it had ceased operating due to a lack of customers.
I enjoy taking some of the side roads when we aren't in any hurry. Drive out to Manley Hot Springs, perhaps do the Haul Road or a part of it, go over to Chitna, visit Atlin BC for a few days, drive up to Circle, to Chena Hot Springs, etc. hot springs fascinate me for some reason, it appears. LOL
