The Lovely Little Town of Wiseman, Ak

Byalecjrosen August 31, 2022July 23, 2022

Wiseman, about 75 miles north of the Arctic Circle and a few miles off the Dalton, was founded in the early 1900s as a gold mining town and there are remnants of its mining and frontier past throughout the town. I spent three days here for the arctic adventures during the Summer Solstice. Boreal Lodge:…

Dalton Highway: Part 2 Coldfoot Camp

Byalecjrosen August 21, 2022July 23, 2022

Coldfoot Camp North of the Arctic Circle sits Coldfoot Camp, a glorified truck stop half way up the Dalton, a six hour drive or so from Fairbanks. It’s not much, but what it is, is a welcome respite from the road. I stayed here one night in spartan surroundings and then two more nights in…
