Today I started quite late, after another very relaxing night in a real bed (Thanks again, Chad, for hosting me!)
After taking the ferry over the Yukon, I started climbing up the Top Of The World-Highway and enjoyed the great view. For lunch I even hiked to a nearby peak and had an even better view over the area.
In the end I had an elevation-gain of more than 2000m today and now I am camping 10km before the boarder and will enter Alaska tomorrow
