Milepost 97 Fuel Stop

This essential fuel stop sits at the edge of civilization on Alaska’s infamous Dalton Highway, marking your last reliable chance for diesel, gas, and basic supplies before the final 200-mile push to Deadhorse. The station stocks tire repair kits, antifreeze, emergency food, and other truck driver essentials. Prices reflect the remote location — expect to pay premium for everything. The attached diner serves decent trucker food and strong coffee to fuel drivers heading into the Arctic.

Open 24/7 during summer months but hours can be reduced in winter when traffic drops to essential freight only. The building doubles as an unofficial checkpoint where truckers share road conditions and weather reports. Stock up here if you’re heading north — the next fuel is either at Coldfoot (60 miles) or Deadhorse itself.

Critical fuel stop before the Brooks Range crossing.
