Dawson City was the perfect “Old West” town with all the buildings that have been restored to exactly the way they were when the Gold Rush occurred. We took a walking tour and went into several of them including the saloon, hotel, post office and the bank. There is only one road into Dawson City and the same one out unless you decide to take the ferry across the Yukon. Can you guess why the bank was never robbed? Diamond Tooth Gerties show was enjoyed by all. The weather was kind of cloudy but there was a great view from the dome which overlooks the city as well as the Yukon River. There was also a lot of industrial mining going on for gold of course. We waited in line that next morning for 3 hours to take the ferry across the Yukon and the ride took only about 10 minutes. We then started across the “Top of the World Highway,” which honestly was very tough. We are talking approximately 100 miles of gravel road with very little shoulder and lots of switchbacks but we survived it unscathed.
