Drive safely and enjoy Alaska and Yukon!
As somebody who has covered the entire Alaska Hwy, Klondike Hwy, Top of The World Hwy, Dempster Hwy all the way up to its very end at the famous Arctic Ocean Sign is the worst driving experience I've had in 41 years on the road!
But at the end, it's by far a very rewarding and for the records road adventure experience like no other similar to reaching Mt Everest for professional mountain climbers!
The Route:

A pretty good radar detector will easily alert you for this type of police speed enforcement especially on a long range detection area!

Sorry for the anemic target stand, that's the only one I had ready-to-use when decided to go for it, better target stand next time in 2024!
No matter where you live in the world, Canada, America, Europe, Australia, NZ, Asia, Africa, ISRAEL, etc., get yourself lawfully-owned firearms, fully abide by all local gun laws no matter you agree with them or not and start training and practising target shooting at your local gun range or on public land open for this type of recreational activity especially in the midst of a very-charged political climate when anti-Semitism and violence run amok pretty much everywhere in the world!
NOTHING CONTROVERSIAL BY BEEING A LAWFUL AND RESPONSIBLE GUN OWNER!

RDs are VERY illegal in Ontario (on the spot confiscation, hefty fine and three demerit points upon conviction!) as well as in Manitoba, Quebec and Atlantic Canada, Commonwealth of Virgina as well!
Unless you're a very skilled and experienced RD user driving especially in Canadian Provinces where RDs are very illegal, DO NOT TRY USING AN RD AT ALL!
Got questions, fire away!
Drive safe and drive smart!
Extremely congested city with no highway infrastracture like in Toronto, Canada's biggest city!
In many places, cycling from Point A to Point B is faster than a personal vehicle or a bus!
Lions Gate Bridge that connects North Vancouver with City of Vancouver on Route 99 is a driving nightmare!
Worst North American city for anybody who owns a personal vehicle!
Highest gas prices in entire North America!!!
Full of expensive EVs, mostly Tesla including the high-end models, far-left enviro-socialist Provincial NDP Govt subsidises (with ICE-vehicle owners' money!) rich ppl buying very expensive EVs, thank God BC & Quebec are the only Canadian provinces or territories offering rebates for anybody who wants to buy an EV!
Because Ontario has no such provincial rebates, no more than 10% of EVs in Toronto (mostly rich socialists living in downtown core area!) out of the total of EVs I've seen in Vancouver and its suburbs in about a week!
A city with two faces: rich ppl driving very expensive vehicles while on East Hastings St a very sumbre and horrible type of lifestyle openly tolerated by the city council and Vancouver's Mayor:
youtube.com/watch?v=CJdJM9Y0PJM
To sum it all up, Vancouver is an extremely unfriendly city to visit using your personal vehicle!
Once is fine, mostly curiosity, second time... NEVER again!
Drive safely but especially good luck out there!
First 30s muted by me (in-car sat radio music) to avoid copyright issues!

Thank God, no other place in Canada, Toronto included, has adopted such radical far-left progressive-liberal policy and hopefully never will!!!
Are Vancouver residents aware how bad this image looks like for anybody visiting the city?
Moreover, highest gas prices in the country and North America too!!!
IMHO, the most far-left progressive liberal city in Canada compared only to San Francisco, California!
In my case, couple of short days in Vancouver part of my 2023 Western Canada & Alaska Road Trip, never come back here again!

Nothing spectacular other than just being Chinatown!
Vancouver is a pretty small city worldpopulationreview.com/canadian-cities/vancouver-population compared to my home town of Toronto worldpopulationreview.com/canadian-cities/toronto-population therefore a very short drive to cover the entire area!
Visit & Explore Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada!
Vancouver, as the entire British Columbia, is in the Pacific Time Zone same like Yukon, Washington State, Oregon and California!
In this particular video, driving in the Downtown area and at the end driving thru the Stanley Park en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Park where you are able to get the best view over Vancouver's beautiful downtown skyline!
Regular gas price in Vancouver: C$2.14 per liter, the most expensive in entire Canada and probably North America as well!!!
Socialy, very much different than Toronto, Canada's biggest city!
Vancouver population (2023, est.): less than 700K!
Toronto population (2023, est.): 3M!
For those who strongly believe in climate change, other enviromental causes, free public transportation paid via extremely-high gas prices at the pump, arborists and rest of tree huggers, bicycle lovers, pro-LGBTQ+ causes, etc., so overall people with far-left social & political views, this is the best place in Canada to live in!
No different than San Francisco, Los Angeles or NYC!
That's why personally I would never enjoy living in Vancouver, BC!

Firearms in Canada
When crossing the border into Canada, hunters must declare all firearms in their possession. Declared rifles and shotguns may be carried through Canada while in transit to Alaska. Certain types of handguns are not permitted in Canada under any circumstances. Other handguns may be carried into Canada under certain circumstances.
Declaring firearms involves filling out some paperwork, specifically Form 5589, the Non-Resident Firearm Declaration form. There is a $25 fee, payable in Canadian funds or with a credit card. The form is available at the border, or can be downloaded in advance from the Canadian Firearms Centre website (more details on that are offered at the end of the article). The form must be presented in triplicate and signed in front of a CBSA officer at the border (it is not possible to make photocopies at the border, so it will save time and effort to do some of the work in advance. Just be sure to wait until the border to sign in front of a customs officer).
According to the Canadian Firearms Centre, completing the paperwork also allows you to bring in ammunition for that firearm for personal use. Regarding ammunition, there have been many cases worldwide where American travelers arrive at a foreign destination with a single bullet somewhere in their luggage that they didn't realize was there, and they get into trouble. Don't use the same luggage for hunting as you do for other international travel.
Canadian law requires that officials confiscate any firearms, ammunition, and other weapons from persons crossing the border who deny having the items in their possession. Confiscated firearms, ammunition, and weapons are not returned. Possession of an undeclared firearm may result in arrest and imprisonment. Travelers are strongly advised to inspect all belongings thoroughly prior to travel to Canada to avoid the accidental import of firearms or ammunition.
Canada has three classes of firearms: non-restricted, restricted, and prohibited.
Non-restricted firearms include most ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns. These may be brought temporarily into Canada for sporting or hunting use during hunting season, use in competitions, in-transit movement through Canada, or personal protection against wildlife in remote areas of Canada. Anyone wishing to bring hunting rifles into Canada must be at least 18 years old; properly store the firearm for transport; and follow the declaration requirements.
Restricted firearms are primarily handguns. While they are not firearms, pepper spray, mace, and some knives also are included in this category. A restricted firearm may be brought into Canada, but an Authorization to Transport permit must be obtained in advance from a Provincial or Territorial Chief Firearms Officer. The permit allows a handgun to be in transit, for example to Alaska, but a permit would not be issued to someone simply vacationing in Canada.
Prohibited firearms include fully automatic, converted automatics and certain military style weapons, including weapons designed for civilian use. A full list of prohibited weapons is available on the Canadian Firearms Centre website. Prohibited firearms are not allowed into Canada. Handguns with a barrel length of less than 105 mm, about 4 1/8 inches, are completely prohibited, and .25 and .32 caliber handguns are prohibited.

The entire highway is 100% unpaved therefore not easy to drive on, low cruising speed is strongly recommended!
Good thing, this particular highway is not used by big trucks at all, very rarerly get to see an 18-wheeler crusing along to/from Dawson City!
Highest elevation right before the Alaska/Yukon border: 1325 meters or 5469 feet above the sea level!
Canada-U.S. border is not open 24 hours, check the hours before heading to that particular border crossing!!!

If you happen to be late, you'll have no choice but to camp out by the border until very next morning... lots of mosquitos in that area and cold!
June, July & August are the best months to travel thru this very remote part of North America, Alaska included.

The only paved road in the city is the Klondike Hwy that falls under territorial jurisdiction, all city streets are unpaved to reflect and preserve the original and historic Dawson City, how it looked like at the end of 19th Century!
Dawson City is the last town before driving the Top of the World Hwy into Alaska or the first one coming back to Yukon, border crossing located about 107 km or less than 70 miles from Dawson City!

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!
