The Dalton Highway runs through the Brooks Range, North Slope, and Coastal Plain to Deadhorse. This road is a great way to view these remote areas without a plane. Additionally, several roads extend outward from Barrow into surrounding areas.
Sled dogs may be used in wintery months, but the extreme cold of this region in the middle of the winter can be very treacherous.
