Road North ~ Dalton Highway



Finger Mountain a stop along the Dalton Highway, it is rumored to point to Fairbanks and was used by early aviators flying home to Fairbanks from the villages on what is now called the North Slope.



Yes the mosquitoes were this bad and even worse at the Arctic Circle - woof.


Beaver Slide! Double woof! Yes it was a bit scary for me the passenger but I knew my wheel-man is a skilled operator, and we made it to the bottom safe and sound. 

The Dalton Highway is known by several names, the Haul Road, the Ice Road or just the Road, and is a road worth exploring. Best advice I can offer is have extra petrol, two spare tires, and bug nets for you head. Trust me on the bug nets.
