1. Drive from Chicken to Dawson City as the wait will be shorter at the ferry on the river. The wait to use the ferry going from Dawson City to Chicken via the TOW can be up to 7 hours as one couple told us as they were waiting to cross the Yukon.
Does this imply that from Chicken you'll meet more oncoming traffic and hence have more potential passing and rock damage issues?
Based on my experience this July, no. The traffic is spaced out and you can go for upwards of a half-hour and not see any on-coming traffic. Then, again, maybe we were extremely lucky and the traffic was slow to start with that day.
