You mentioned the mysterious Arctic Circle, and I came to the top of Alaska

Finally drove the Dalton Highway in Alaska The legendary "Death Highway" The destination is a small town called "Dead Horse Town" in the Arctic Circle, which has only 25 people on the official list. The small town where we stopped to rest was called "Frozen Foot Town". Just hearing the names of these towns, don’t you think this place is special? The name "Death Highway" comes from the changeable weather on this road. 99% of the roads are deserted areas with no signal, bumpy roads, and large trucks speeding by. . This is a road built for transporting oil. Thousands of kilometers of oil pipelines are heading to the Arctic Ocean with us In fact, compared with the cold and severe weather in winter Driving this 666-kilometer highway in autumn can be said to be a pleasure. Looking out the window is the colorful tundra in mid-autumn and the snow-capped mountains that never melt. Especially near Brooks Range In the morning after the rain, beauty is speechless Took these photos . I heard that there is a lot of rain in Alaska this year. This kind of weather makes our car basically covered with mud We also experienced our first flat tire on the way back. I always knew that the people of Alaska were friendly. This time I experienced it again As soon as we stopped the car, two uncles came to help us change the tire. We had no experience in changing tires. No credit or fame This is one of the reasons why I love Alaska so much. . Self-driving Tips 1⃣️4WD + full gas, start the trip, add gas when you need it 2⃣️General car rental companies do not allow you to go this route. You need to rent a car from a local company that specializes in renting 4*4 cars. 3⃣️Be sure to bring a spare tire (preferably a full tire), in addition to the three or four cars with flat tires we saw along the way 4⃣️We stayed at Coldfoot Camp at the transit station. The accommodation conditions were very poor. Brooks Camp at the end was very clean (both had no hair dryers). There were also some scattered cabins along the way that could be stayed in, but they all needed to be booked a long time in advance. 5⃣️If you see a beautiful scenery, find a safe place to stop and take pictures. You may miss it. 6⃣️Be sure to reserve enough time. It is very likely that you will drive a few hours longer than expected due to weather factors and stopping to see the scenery. More than half of this road is within the Arctic Circle, and it is also the northernmost part of the famous Pan-American Highway. We also met an uncle who drove directly to Ushuaia as the starting point of the journey. Sometimes self-driving may not only be about enjoying the scenery or going to a certain destination, but also a kind of sentiment~
