This is one of the first creeks crossed on the Dalton Highway itself, but I can't remember its name.

A musk ox grazing near the Sag River in the coastal plain.

View from the Elliott Highway not far north of Fairbanks, on my way up to the Dalton.

Morning mist over a little marshy pond on the south side of Atigun Pass in the Brooks Range.

A herd of caribou (all cows) crossing over a hilltop near the Kuparuk River.

A dall sheep yew and her lamb walk a trail that appears to be nothing but sheer cliff on the side of a mountian near the Dalton Highway -- I think it was Slope Mountain.

This close-up of the tundra gives you some sense of what it's like to walk on the stuff. I've heard it compared to walking on a mattress stuffed with basketballs.

Dall sheep on the side of the mountain overlooking Galbraith Lake, north of Atigun Pass.

More of the same herd of musk oxen.
