This truck stop sits at mile 175 of the Dalton Highway, serving as the critical refuel point between Fairbanks and Deadhorse. The place has a distinctly industrial feel — big rigs idle all night, and the cafe serves hearty trucker fare alongside basic groceries and automotive supplies. Fuel is expensive but essential, and the small motel fills up with pipeline workers and overlanders.
Open 24 hours during summer, reduced hours in winter. Overnight parking is allowed for self-contained vehicles, though it’s more truck stop than campground. Stock up on supplies here — after Coldfoot, it’s just wilderness and the Prudhoe Bay facilities.
