Looks like a fantastic trip! I grew up in North Pole and your definitely making me homesick! Glad to see you made it out to Mcarthy and Kennicot. Did you take the Denali highway over to Denali from Paxon lake or down the Parks from Fairbanks?
The trip from Dawson city is very cool too. Not sure if you found this out while there or not, but the name Chicken wasn't the intended name of that town. They wanted to name it Ptarmigan, but no one knew how to spell it, so Chicken it is.
Anyway. Great pics and hope you had fun.
I didn't even know about North Pole until we drove through it. Loved the way the businesses decorated their exteriors and took it to heart.
We took the Parks road from Fairbanks, wish I could have spent more time in Denali, beautiful place!
I did hear about the naming issue with Chicken when I stopped there. Quirky little town, and a great place to stop and chat with others on the road.
If anyone is wondering, the Top of the World hwy is much easier then the Dempster or N Canol. I met a nice German couple refueling in Chicken that had tried to go up the Dempster twice and turned back both times because it was rough and quite slippery at times when it was wet. They had a Ford pickup with a slide in camper.
