At the end of the Dalton highway at the very top of the Pan American Highway is Prudhoe Bay. It marks the end of the journey for the world by road and the farthest north point that you can drive in North America. It was a rough journey, but exciting for the end of the expedition.
We connected with a non-profit that helps to encourage natives to keep their traditional roots and also help with substance abuse. We were taken from Nenana where we camped for a few days up to the Old Minto village where we took a tour and learned about what they are doing to preserve the native culture of Alaska.
On the way up highway 37 to Alaska through Canada, there is a small road that takes you to an even smaller town called Hyder. This place is famous for its bears and we saw tons of them while there. It does not even have a border control, no police department and only about 100 residents in summer. In winter there are only 40 people there and the only way in or out is via float plane. It is a very special place.
Fairbanks was our basecamp for our run up the Dalton Highway to Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay. This was our favorite city in Alaska and full of great places and a lot of history. The area is beautiful and the people are friendly.
