The Dalton Highway, more commonly known in Alaska as "The Haul Road" is the only road heading north from Fairbanks-Alaska. The road is used primarily by truckers to re-supply the oil-towns of Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay with food and materials during both summer and winter (although any adventurous traveler may try his/her luck) . Temperatures along the road can reach -60 F in winter. I found another, somewhat atypical traveler using the Haul Road this summer during a road-trip with my brother-in-law.
