Drive the only highway in Alaska to cross the Arctic Circle in vehicles specially designed for gravel road conditions. The Dalton Highway stretches 414 miles from the Elliott Highway north of Fairbanks to the oil camp community of Deadhorse, which serves the Prudhoe Bay oil fields, through some of the most beautiful and lonely scenery in Alaska.

Travel Itinerary:

Stop in at Coldfoot Café for dinner or have a ‘cold one’ in the Frozen Foot Saloon.
