Can you drive from Chicken to Eagle in a 2 wd car?

    That's right - the tour boat is history and so are the large buses.
  • So, does this mean you don't run into tour busses on the road to Chicken any longer ?
  • It was run by several 50-passenger buses each day for many years, shuttling people from the Yukon Queen tour boat that ran from Dawson to Eagle.
  • We have done it twice in a 4-wheel drive but never took it out of 2-wheel. It is a nice way to spend a day. Very little traffic. Both times we took a picnic lunch and stopped on top of the many hills on the way. Plenty of scenic spots to pull off on.

    Go and enjoy.
  • Those roughly 60 miles (well, 60 from TOW HiWay, 90 from "downtown" Chicken...) take a good chunk of the day each way! We stayed at the BLM CG in Eagle - NOT crowded!!! :) ST
