WE WENT IN SUMMER AND THE ROADS WERE NOT MUCH BETTER BUT THE SCENERY IS SPECTACULAR. WE MADE THE WHOLE TRIP WITH ONE FLAT TIRE CAUSED BY THEM GRADING THE ROADS AND TURNING UP ARROW SHAPED ROCKS.

Back in the '70's that was normal conditions for every road in the Yukon, including the whole Alaska Hwy and even the capital Whitehorse. Winter was always the best time to drive with no dust and roads graded and frozen smooth. Brakes tended to freeze and steering got pretty stiff past 40 below though.
