Is Top of the World Hwy paved

Is the Top of the World Hwy completely paved? I have new tires plus spare but hesitate to drive in dust or gravel. My wife is a nervous ninny if there are no guard rails so I also need to know if guard rails are installed. Thanks.

  • NOT paved. Here is a link to the blog that was referenced. You can see pictures of the road.

    Now as far as driving, I wasn't at all bothered by that. Never felt like we were on edge or anything. I guess our friends were a little, but no problem here and I did most of the driving.

  • Wasn't paved last year. Only open about 4 months a year. It is gravel.. check out our blog. During June 2013. A link to that blog is at the bottom of this post. 100+ miles of rutted gravel. I have a pix of our GPS reading 8MPH.

    It is paved from end to end. I remember there being a small rock wall on the low side that may stop a majority of vehicles from accessing unpaved ground.

    When did that happen?????
