Dalton Discoveries: The Brooks Range
The Brooks Range is the northernmost portion of the Rocky Mountains, extending over 700 miles (1120 km) from the Bering Sea to the Canadian border. Steep, rocky slopes and glacier-carved valleys dominate this vast, rugged landscape along the east-to-west running Continental Divide. The Brooks Range is nearly entirely protected and open for all to enjoy.

Dalton Highway Cleanup at Coldfoot, Alaska
Nestled in a pretty valley in the Brooks Range, tiny Coldfoot, Alaska, lies a little north of the Arctic Circle on the Dalton Highway, the state's only road connection to the Arctic Ocean. In August 2012, volunteers from the Arctic Interagency Visitor Center, the nearby village of Wiseman, and Coldfoot Camp joined three ice road truckers from Carlile Transportation Systems to clean up a mile of the Dalton Highway in celebration of National Public Lands Day.

Crossing Alaska Part 1
In 1994, Reinette Senum would become the first woman to cross Alaska alone. Skiing 600 miles down the frozen Yukon River, 55 below, without gun, tent or radio, Reinette would stay in an Athabascan village half way across the state. There, while waiting for the river to break up, Reinette would cut down 3 trees and build a canoe, paddling an additional 900 miles to complete her journey in 4 months, 6 days. It would be two years after Reinette completed her trek that she would discover the journey had actually begun a century before (Part 2 Family Ties).... the twist to this ending is other worldly. For part 2:

WISEMAN THE FORGOTTEN VILLAGE - DALTON HIGHWAY - ARCTIC OCEAN EXPEDITION - LeAw Vlog #057
Welcome to our channel! We are Sara and Luca, Italian couple and travel storytellers!
Make sure you SUBSCRIBE to this channel so you don't miss out on future adventures.
After sleeping at the Arctic Circle our Arctic Ocean Expedition continues on the Danton Highway direction north.
The James Dalton Highway is a legendary road.

The first drone footage is Middle Fork Koyukuk River seeing arctic ground squirrels. Beautiful views of imposing Sukakpak Mountain. The pressures on the limestone have changed much of the mountain into marble. Note veins of copper, quartz, crystalline, and cinnabar in mountain face.
Wiseman is a census-designated place (CDP) in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska, United States. The population was 14 at the 2010 census.
Wiseman is a small mining community along the Middle Fork Koyukuk River in the Brooks Range. It was founded by gold miners who abandoned the Slate Creek (later Coldfoot) settlement around 1908.
Robert Marshall, who became a prominent American forester, preservation activist, and a co-founder of The Wilderness Society, wrote the bestselling book, Arctic Village, about his 15-month stay in this frontier town around the year 1930. Marshall described Wiseman and the Koyukuk River area surrounding it, as the happiest civilization of which I have knowledge. The community is 3 miles (5 km) from the Dalton Highway, and it was not connected to the road until the early 1990s.
Located just three miles off the Dalton Highway and near the boundary of Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Wiseman is a jumping-off point for properly equipped backpackers who want to trek into the park on foot.
Today less than two-dozen people live in Wiseman, a century-old mining town that enjoyed its heyday in the 1920s. Thirty cabins from the gold rush era are still used today, mostly by seasonal residents. It can get cold here in the winter; easily dropping to minus 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
Wiseman’s scenic settling along the Middle Fork of the Koyukuk River and against the backdrop of the Brooks Range give you a sense for its recreational options. Hiking, fishing, river rafting or float trips, bird watching and wildlife viewing are excellent in summer. In winter, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, dog mushing and most notably, northern lights viewing, are excellent.
Are you ready to travel with us?
Leave everything and wander” is the result of Sara Bertagnolli’s and Luca Sguazzini’s desire to join their own skills and realize a dream: that of traveling, leaving the certainties and securities of everyday life behind.
After university Sara achieved high-level professional goals in the field of management and became the personal assistant to the fashion designer Philipp Plein.
Luca has been traveling a lot since he was a child and the last year he gained notoriety for his participation in the Italian version of “Dancing with the stars”; he has more than 138k followers on Instagram and 50k on Facebook.
They have decided to join forces and to tell a life out of the ordinary on social networks. The plan is to travel through Canada, Alaska and, in a second moment, United States, Messico and South America and to share the trip’s photos and videos on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram, giving to everyone the possibility to experience the “wander-spirit”.
Traveling without temporal or spatial limits will give Sara and Luca the possibility to entangle their story with that of people they will meet on the road and to discover new cultures, visiting also the places which are not famous, the ones which often have the biggest surprises in store.
The start-up budget will be limited in order to demonstrate that – also without great economical resources – everything is possible if you put the work in and involve as many people as possible.

UAF Geology Brooks Range Trip 2011
A little video I put together from the footage I collected on the grad student field trip up to the Brooks Range in northern Alaska. It is an annual trip that spans four days with geology stops along the way. The trip is a very fun and inexpensive way to see a lot of Alaska as well as learn a lot about the regional geology.
Exploring Jeeps - Alaska Trip of a Lifetime
We drive our Jeep Wrangler to Alaska from Chicago. The video is a combination of Photos and video taken from our July 2016 trip from Chicago to Seattle, Hyder AK, Anchorage, Seward, Denali, Deadhorse, Coldfoot, McCarthy, Haines Junction, Banff, Jasper, Glacier, Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, Custer State Park. We drove 12000 miles, and spent 1100 miles on dirt roads. We drove the Denali Highway and the Dalton Higway to the Artic ocean. It was for me a trip of a lifetime.
From Summits to Seas: Biking Alaska
es·ca·pade (ˈeskəˌpād) noun
an act or incident involving excitement, daring, and adventure
From the mountains of the Brooks Range in the north, to the coastal fjords of the Kenai Peninsula, it's been a wild week of riding! My style of riding involves a collage of mountainous trail riding with a mix of trials and touring. This trip took me from Coldfoot, Alaska in the southern Brooks Range, to Seward, Alaska down off the Kenai Peninsula. The bike I ride is Trek's Stache 5, which is a plus-sized-tire mountain bike for increased traction and rolling performance, with a playful geometry frame, that makes riding a blast. Hope you all enjoyed this video, and are inspired to get out there and go on an escapade!

Dalton Discoveries: Trucking the Dalton
While it may be common to view the Dalton Highway as an access to Alaska's northern wilderness, the road exists to allow access to the oil fields of the North Slope. Large tractor trailers haul fuel and supplies to the massive industrial complex near the Arctic Ocean. While this may seem like a routine run for the trucks, crossing 500 miles of the Yukon River, Brooks Range, and North Slope can prove to be an expedition of its own kind. The small community of independent and resourceful truckers that make a living navigating their big rigs to and from the Arctic have some incredible stories to tell.
