The "Haul Road" or Dalton Highway was built during the construction of the pipeline. The pipeline runs parallel with the road, above and below the ground. It travels from Valdez (yes, we are going there) all the way to Prudhoe Bay (Bob says- NO, we are NOT going there!).
The pictures show you the highway we traveled, the bridge over the Yukon River and the accomplishment. Everything you read warns you to be prepared for this highway. It was not nearly as bad as claimed. Paved sections, broken pavement sections and hard packed gravel sections. Only problem was it rained on the way back, making those gravel sections a real mess! Had to run the truck through a quick car wash, once again!
Bob is out like a light at 6:30pm-a trying day for my personal driver!
Glad you had a good experience. Kudos to your personal driver.
