Anyone else ever driven the Dalton Highway (North Slope Haul Road) in Alaska ? [View all]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalton_HighwayI drove the part from Livengood to the Arctic Circle sign. If I had more time, appropriate supplies and enough gas, I would have gone all the way to Deadhorse and back.
A sample of the beauty:
It's a very beautiful and unforgettable trip. I would only recommend doing it from June to late August.
The road itself is very primitive in places, and small vehicle and motorcycle traffic carries significant risk. The nearest medical facilities are in Fairbanks and Deadhorse. Anyone embarking on a journey on the Dalton is encouraged to bring survival gear.
Good advice there. It's a very rough road, so be ready to be jarred quite a bit.
