Alyeska Pipeline Viewing Point

Here you will find informational displays about the pipeline and an example of a pig, the device used to clean and inspect the inside of the pipeline. It took 70,000 construction workers and $8 billion of investment capital to build the famous 4-foot silver thread that snakes its way through 800 miles of Alaskan wilderness to reach the nation's thirsty refineries, crossing mountain ranges, earthquake zones, permafrost, and rivers. Some 420 miles of the pipeline are elevated (with 554 animal crossings), and outside Fairbanks is the place to see it. As you watch, consider this: Every hour, more than a million dollars of black gold flows through it.

James Dalton Highway

From Fairbanks, the Elliot Highway takes you about 73 miles north to the start of the Dalton Highway, traversing boreal forest hills of birch and aspen trees and tundra valleys of streams and small rivers. You will cross the mighty Yukon River and pass through the valley to Finger Mountain, a treeless high point with short walkways and kiosks to learn about the region’s geology and alpine tundra. The Arctic Circle turnout has bathrooms and a picnic area.

    Very long drive, but beautiful scenery, and worth seeing the Arctic Circle at the end of the trip. Please make sure to bring food because you're not going to get any along the way!

    This was awesome! Our driver, Aaron, was fantastic. We felt very safe with him driving even on the treacherous Dalton Hwy and he had lots of information to share. Stopping at the pipeline and the Yukon River were great and arriving at the Arctic Circle was surreal. We had dinner at the Yukon River Camp which was very good and even saw Moose and some Northern lights on the way back. Would definitely recommend this trip.
