Cananda-US border . . .
The Poker Creek - Little Gold Creek Border Crossing features one of the few jointly-built single building customs ports of entry along the Canada–US border. There is a one-hour difference in standard time zones at this border, which is only open in summer during the 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. period (Alaska time). The Border Post has warnings as far south as Whitehorse, Yukon, alerting travelers that the Border is closed between 9pm and 9am (Yukon Time) and there's absolutely no entry between those times.
I snapped this photo on the Taylor Highway (known as the "Top of the World Highway" to many Alaskan's.) Don't let the word "highway" fool you. This road is full of potholes, washboard surface, no guard rails, and no shoulders in which to pull over. The scenery is breathtaking - and you are able to look down into deep valley's, that give you the feeling that you are flying in a small plane. It is a trip everyone should make, at least once.
