o) Roads are exceptionally good, considering how remote and sparsely populated the territory is.
o) Gasoline price is reasonable, not more expensive than small towns in Alaska.
o) Few visitors, large landscape (long distance driving - total mileage of this trip is 2485 miles!!!).
o) The best hiking resource: http://yukonhiking.ca/.
o) Camping includes firewood, $12/night, same price as in Kluane National Park (no free firewood, but better amenity).
o) Best fall color is probably early September in the north (Tombstone), mid September in the south (Kluane).
o) Huckleberry is at the end in mid Sept, but crowberry and low bush cranberry / lingonberry are plentiful.
o) No mosquitoes, but quite a lot of small flies in Dawson City and other low elevation areas with standing water.
Note, Top of The World Highway (red on the image) which I drove was closed for the season when I generated this map in early Oct.The genesis of my trip is inspired by this blog whose photos are just splendid.
