Lizzie, the road is in decent condition to Chicken. Chicken to the border is a bit more interesting; this was the area that washed out in 2010 and required significant reconstruction & rebuilding. It continues to an interesting drive.
Between the border and Dawson City is our favourite section. It is generally good gravel, with some soft spots. There are numerous spots to boondock along this piece and it gets very quiet at night because the customs offices close for the night.
We like to spend 2-3 days on the Taylor & Top of the World Highways, so obviously we're meandering along. Not in a rush to get anywhere. Thus we thoroughly enjoy the journey.
