Chilkoot Trail in Alaska

[MikeV]

Hi,

I'm planning a road trip from Cleveland to Alaska in late June/early July and mostly I'll be in the Fairbanks/Denali area, however I was interested in taking a detour on the way from Whitehorse to see the Chilkoot Trail. Is this only a hiking trail? I'm not prepared or experienced enough for a 33 mile hike through the Alaskan/BC wilderness, however on both Google and Bing maps it looks as though there is also a road that goes from outside of Skagway, AK to the Canadian border along the trail. Sadly the street view is unavailable for the part I was hoping to drive through, and the satellite view doesn't have good enough resolution to tell.

So my question is, is this just the trail head of a hiking path or is there also a drivable road there? Thanks in advance!

The fork is at point B on this map:
