What makes this road special

Stretching across the rugged Alaskan wilderness, the Dalton Highway offers one of the most remote and challenging driving experiences in North America. Originally built as a supply route for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, this mostly dirt and gravel road takes adventurous travelers straight across the Arctic Circle and over the formidable Brooks Range. Drivers must be exceptionally well-prepared and self-sufficient to tackle its extreme conditions, but those who brave the journey are rewarded with unparalleled views of untouched tundra.
