8James Dalton Highway, Alaska, USA
Alaska’s James Dalton Highway, also known simply as the Dalton Highway, stretches 414 miles from Fairbanks to Deadhorse. Originally built to serve the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, this remote road is infamous for its harsh conditions. The highway is mostly gravel, with poor traction and frequent potholes. Extreme weather, including blizzards and subzero temperatures, adds to the danger. There are very few services along the route, and the road is so isolated that drivers are advised to bring survival gear and multiple spare tires. Despite the treacherous conditions, the highway attracts adventurous travelers drawn to the challenge of driving in one of the most remote regions of the world.
