This legendary truck stop sits at mile 56 of the Dalton Highway, right where the road crosses the mighty Yukon River. You’ll find diesel, gas, basic groceries, hot meals, and a gift shop crammed with trucker gear and Alaska memorabilia. The restaurant serves hearty portions—think chicken fried steak and massive burgers—fuel for the haul ahead. RV parking is tight but available, and the place stays busy with truckers and tourists alike during summer months.
Open year-round but hours vary seasonally. Winter brings extreme cold and reduced services. The Yukon River Bridge here is famous as the northernmost river crossing in North America. No reservations needed for parking, but don’t count on quiet nights with air brakes hissing and diesel engines idling.
Last fuel and hot meals before the Arctic.
