yukon to alaska border crossing time

If you are on the highway headed to Tok it will probably take 10 minutes tops! If you are on Top of the World it will be quicker.

Sounds great, thanks!

Depends on traffic and time of day. When we entered AK early in the morning, spent the night in Beaver Creek drove right up, the usual questions, a few pleasantries and on to Tok. Return trip we spent night in Tok quite a lineup southbound in mid August maybe 20 vehicles in line.

My experience last year was the opposite. About 5 minutes on the Alaska Highway and almost 40 minutes at Top of World. My actual time talking with an Officer was just a few minutes. It was the wait that took so long.

Not only depending on traffic and time of day, it also depends when Port Alcan decides on additional screening measures at random....

Although the last three entries returning to Alaska at Port Alcan for me have been pleasant, the other twenty or so times prior not so much as it seemed the majority of non Alaskans were cleared in a more timely manner as I end up in secondary or hang with the other Alaskans waiting to get cleared or getting panty searched at random.

Beaver Creek station at Canada Customs as noted can have traffic waiting, as generally they will clear me between three minutes to forty minutes depending on what they are dealing with and their workload.

Generally returning to Alaska at the Boundary-Poker Creek joint US-Canada station, it was a sneeze and a scan of the passport for me, as the CBSA officials there when entering Canada takes me anywhere from 5 to 40 minutes to clear with them, with or without traffic.

Bottom line is it will not be as daunting upon crossing the main port of entries along the continental US border with all the much busier traffic that is there.
