We debated our next drive; do we do the Top of the World Highway which is a mixture of asphalt and gravel with our mismatched tires, or do the 750 mile detour back to Whitefish and drive the Alaska Highway.  Ultimately we decided on the 176 mile Top of the World figuring the road could not be any worst than yesterday and the mismatched tires held up yesterday.

The drive was really beautiful.  A great road running across ridges with super views on each side.  We crossed back into the US in the most northern most land border crossing.  They actually seemed happy to see us at customs, I think it was a slow day. 

After an uneventful drive, the first in a couple of days , we arrived in Tok.  We spent part of the afternoon knocking the large chunks of Dempster mud  off of Scout, kicking back and researching how to find Nitto Terra Grappler tires in Alaska.
