So many people ask about getting to see the Dalton.... this is a great opportunity to really get to experience the road. Proud to say I work with Norther Alaska Tour Company!

This is the third year for the project, picking up trash along the Elliott and Dalton Highways. All meals, transportation and lodging are provided.

I’ve been saying that it was unusually warm. Here is the official report:

FAIRBANKS — December 2017 was the second warmest final month of the year on record for Fairbanks and the warmest in 104 years, according to Rick Thoman, Alaska climate science

The loss of frozen ground in Arctic regions is a striking result of climate change. And it is also a cause of more warming to come.

Aurora Season is upon us!

The northern and southern lights are a dazzling spectacle for skywatchers lucky enough to see them, but fascinating science is behind what causes these impressive light shows.

Fun write-up about coldfoot camp.

This historic gold mining camp has been transformed into humble accommodations with epic views of the Aurora Borealis right out your front door.

We were lucky and got to drive along the park road through the Denali Park Road Lottery. We "won" tickets for Tuesday - the last day of the event. It was a wonderful trip I'll post pictures once I get them downloaded from my camera.

Here is Dermit Cole's experience:

Some people think success is measured by whether the clouds part long enough to see the mountain, but that is only a small part of the journey.

The leaves have started to fall from the trees and we are moving into our next season....

Cooler temperatures may not mean more snow. But with less thawing, snow on the ground will have a greater chance of sticking around.

Had a great tour yesterday! My company ended up combining two smaller tours so we had a medium sized group with great personality! And just before we got to Fairbanks the Aurora decided to outshine the moon!

I had a fun trip earlier this week where I had some extra time to take photos of the beautiful fall colors!

If you live in the northern parts of the lower 48..... tonight might be your night - hope for clear skies and enjoy.

This is happening about 60 miles north of the Arctic Circle..... not sure how much it will affect the majority of my tours.

In a 15-mile radius around the community of Coldfoot, haul road travelers will be able to use voice and data service on their phones.
