Fairbanks Visitor Information Center
This is your final civilized stop before heading up the Dalton. The center stocks detailed maps, current road conditions, and permits for Prudhoe Bay access. Rangers here have real-time intel on weather, construction delays, and which camps are busy. Full services nearby including groceries, gear shops, and fuel.
Open year-round but hours vary seasonally. Stock up on everything here — next real resupply is 500 miles north at Deadhorse. The staff knows overlanders and can point you toward last-minute gear or repairs in town.
