AK2006 -- Gobbler's Knob

At mile 132 of the Dalton, is a pullout facing north towards the Brooks Range and the smaller Jack White Range in between. It was the highest overlook of the area before the distant mountains. . .

The obligitory “Here's Where You're At:” sign at the Gobblers Knob View Point (Mile 132 of the Dalton Highway)




. . .this sign speaks of 'The Road North' and the treacherous way the Dalton Highway used to be mud and ice and on a good day -- barely passable. . .
