Getting There From Whitehorse

Crag Ex is about 31km away from Whitehorse towards Dawson.
1) Take the Alaska Highway Northbound.
2) Take a right turn towards Dawson, following the Klondike Highway (The Cutoff)
3) Exactly 19.3km after the cutoff, you will see a dirt drive on the left of the highway.
4a) Go up a tiny hill (50m) and park there, there is room for 2-3 cars. Follow the quad path for a bit, and take the first distinct walking trail towards your right. This trail will lead you to the nice south-facing Crag which you saw from the highway!
4b) Alternatively, you can continue in your car on the dirt road past the tiny parking and take the first right, this road can be a bit bumpy but will take you around to a nice parking area just below the crag.
