Dalton Highway, AK
Atigun Pass
The Dalton Higway to Deadhorse.
Speed Limit 50? Righhhhht. All gravel the next 416 miles to Deadhorse.
Some parts are straight but washboard and frost heaves abound.
Spring is in the air, that's the pipeline in the distance.
The Yukon River Bridge, steel with a wooden deck.
I washed it in Fairbanks yesterday. That won't last long.
View from Finger Mountain.
The real reason for stopping at Finger Mountain.
The plants were just starting to bloom.
But 2 days later on the return trip they were blooming everywhere.
Ahhh, now I feel at home.
Cold Foot Camp, the only gas station and diner on the Dalton.
Cold Foot Camp post office.
Cold Foot Diner, Tom's motorcycle parked out front.
Got gas at the diner and filled the truck up too. Headed North again.
In the Brooks Range now.
Heading up Atigun Pass.
Check out how banged up the guardrail is. The dust is from a passing semi truck.
Alaska
North of the Brooks Range the sky got angry.
