In the video: good parts and not so good parts of the highway!
Lots of very bad portions with loose gravel, no issues if you drive a pickup truck pulling no travel trailer, most locals drive pickup trucks and they do not care about these type of third-world country roads, but if you are a tourist driving a full-size RV or a pick-up truck pulling a travel trailer or simply driving a city car and not used with these type of unpaved roads, these type of roads are a nightmare, drive slowly especialy on gravel roads as you can see in this particular video!
Klondike Hwy is Yukon's Government jurisdiction who bears full responsibilty for maintenance and making it drivable for everybody and not just the locals!
Klondike Hwy is the only road to Dawson City, so like it or hate it, no other way to get to Dawson City unless you get a paid charter flight!
Lots of rest areas with Yukon-style restrooms!

Drive safely and explore Yukon Territory, Canada!
Taikuu Chris, Some beautiful country, those rivers and lake make me want to camp and toss a line in the water, fry up some fish. This is Ben from Fairbanks, at the gas station, you were looking for mile marker #1, I think you found it on down the hiway about 350 miles or so. Have a safe and happy trip home...
Howdy Ben, nice to hear from you, glad you're well and enjoy your well-deserved retirement life as a patriot American Vietnam War vet!
Thank you so much for the instructions on how to get to Downtown Fairbanks, video already on my channel!
Unfortunately no music on my videos and you already know why!
No, have not found Alaska Hwy Mile Marker 0 or 1 BUT as soon as I'll leave Whitehorse where I'm right now, next destination is Dawson Creek, BC where there is a flagship sign with Alaska Hwy Mile 0, then down to Victoria BC (ferry from Vancouver and then back to Vancouver) to film Trans-Canada Hwy Mile 0 sign as well, also swimm for a couple of minutes in the Pacific Ocean, then back home to Toronto!
So far, since July 11 ~7.5K miles all on unknown roads, provinces, territories + Alaska, the last American state out of 49 in total where I had not driven to, now I can proudly tell everybody interested in road trips that I'm one of the very few Canadians "member" of the 49 American states where you can drive your personal vehicle to!
All my Yukon and Alaska videos are uploaded at Whitehorse Public Library, unfortunatellt there is no fiber optics in Whitehorse, their U/L speed only 260 Kb/s, it takes 4 hours to upload a 20+ min video, 5+ hours a 30+ min video!!!
No other choice, all Yukon Visitor Centers, Watson Lake, Whitehorse and Dawson City, have blocked youtube.com from their free wifi network, available only to internal Yukon Govt network! Yukon has a very Liberal Govt and Premier, totally opposite to Alaska's Govt!
As per discutions I've had with some patriotic Yukoners, only 10% of Yukon residents are conservatives!
Main employers in Whitehorse and Dawson City: Yukon Govt + municipal govts!
Thank God Whitehorse Public Library is open 10am to 8pm local time, seven days a week!
Do you remember my license plate?
My email address from where I can send you pictures from Alaska and Yukon and talk each other a lot as well: my license plate (anybody can read my comment so I don't want to have it all over the cyberspace, privacy issues, right?) @live.ca, that's it, once again my license plate @live.ca!
Two more videos before I leave Yukon, most likely Monday or Tuesday!
Be safe, well and healthy and God Bless!
Thank you for the service, Ben!
Nice comment. I'll be driving Ottawa to Dawson City in the spring. Will still be some snow on the ground.
Awesome travels live watching my friend
Thank you Shane, next one is very rare, it will be available by the end of the day Pacific Time.
Have a wonderful weekend.
God Bless.
