Here are the most accessible options for the trip north.

Coldfoot Camp

$$$ | Dalton Hwy., Coldfoot, AK, 99708, USA

Fuel, tire repairs, and towing are available here, along with basic and clean rooms built from surplus pipeline-worker housing. The 24-hour restaurant serves generous portions of truck-stop fare. It's the only facility within 100 miles or more. Adventure-travel options include flightseeing and river rafting in summer and aurora safaris and dog mushing in winter. The complex has a post office and RV spaces with hookups—they're nothing fancy. There's no dump station.

Pros

  • Boxed lunches available for on-the-go adventurers
  • Café is staffed 24 hours a day

Cons

  • Basic rooms
  • Truckers get a dinner menu, but summer guests get a buffet
