The Poker Creek–Little Gold Creek Border Crossing is located on the Top of the World Highway, which connects the communities of Dawson, Yukon, and Chicken, Alaska, on the Canada–United States border.
History The Top of the World Highway was completed around 1955, but the US performed border inspection services about away in Tok, Alaska until 1971, when it built a log cabin-style inspection station at the border. The crossing is open from April 15 to September 15 9am to 7pm, during the other times of the year the highway is closed due to weather conditions. Officers from both the US and Canada live at the port one week on, one week off during the summer months. In 2001, the US and Canada constructed a joint border inspection station, where inspectors from both countries occupy a single facility. A line painted on the floor in the building marks the US-Canada border.
This crossing is notable for being the northernmost international border crossing in North America.
