Most of the Dalton Highway runs north of the Arctic Circle. The road crosses the Brooks Range.
Atigun Pass at MP 244 is the highest highway pass in Alaska (elevation 4.800 feet or 1.463 meter).

Greetings from Indiana, Never in a million years will I ever forget all the beauty and most fabulous Adventure I experienced on this Dalton Highway and going over the ATIGUN Pass. I tried not to hurry along so I could soak up all the eye could hold and it is still far from full. I guess another trip is the only way to keep filling my vision with so much to see. I even stopped at the top on my motorcycle and walked around for an hour just to feel the air in my face and my feet on the ground. I really wanted to set up camp and spend a day or more and hike out for hours on end. I took a hundred pictures and they will never do justice. What a place to remember in a persons old age. Not there yet so look out Dead Horse, I`ll be back. I could type volumes but today just a note. I was there in 1996 June 21st at Prudhoe Bay and this is now 01/03/2007-- Next time I`ll climb to the top of the pass mountain. Maybe.!!!! Take care and Happy New Year to all. Write if you can.
