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!
