This
choice is very popular with folks wanting to go further north
than Coldfoot and specifically yearns to experience the Arctic
Ocean.
For
those without much time and don't want to fly we offer tours
that exclusively use ground travel.
Originally
named Slate Creek, Coldfoot was founded as a gold-mining camp in
1898. The name changed when many prospectors got "cold feet" upon
winter's arrival and headed back south. At its turn-of-the-century
peak, Coldfoot boasted a gambling hall, two roadhouses, seven
saloons, a post office and a brothel. By 1912 it was a ghost town.
The former mining camp was reincarnated as a construction camp while the pipeline was being built. In 1981 it shape-shifted again, becoming a barebones trucker stop-"The Farthest North Truck Stop in the World." It's a visitor-friendly place that caters to a tour-bus, trucker and independent traveler clientele. Here, 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle in the midst of wildness, you'll find a cafe, gas station, hotel, lounge, post office, general store, RV park, equipment-rental shop and visitor center with information on federal lands accessible from the highway.
Located at Mile 175 on the Dalton Highway in the southern slopes of the Brooks Range, 248 miles north of Fairbanks.
Alaska may be known for its rugged landscapes and wild animals, but it’s the people and their humor that make it truly unforgettable
In Alaska, we know that construction season is the real ‘most wonderful time of the year.
Why waste time tanning when you can be exploring the rugged wilderness of Alaska?
