Alaska highway opens Arctic tour route toward Prudhoe Bay
In Anchorage a gravel road completed from the Yukon River to Prudhoe Bay paves the way for the Trans Alaskan pipeline and eventual all inland driving from the Panama Canal to the Arctic.

Atwood Enterprises already runs Arctic tours from Deadhorse and through the Prudhoe Bay fields, charging about $300 for a two day plus trip.
