Sights in Taylor Highway

  1. Jack Wade Junction

    The Top of the World Hwy meets Taylor Hwy at Jack Wade Junction. From here, the route north to Eagle isn't for the faint of heart. Almost immediately it becomes washboarded, cliff-clinging and crazily twisty; in places it's so narrow the phrase 'one lane' seems generous. It's the worst stretch of highway in Alaska, requires at least two hours to safely negotiate, and should be avoided by RVs.

  2. Jack Wade Dredge

    On the roadside at Mile 86 is the decaying Jack Wade Dredge, which operated from 1900 to 1942. When we were there you could climb inside the guts of it, but safety fears may soon put an end to this.
