Weather Deadhorse, AK
HI,
I will probably be the last one this season going there.
Have you checked the weather ?
Which site would you recommend ?
I go with
Wetter Deadhorse Airport Deadhorse - 14 Tage
This morning the forecast showed 8 Degrees in Deadhorse for MON and TUE, so the best it can be beg. of SEP.
Current plan:
6 SEP SAT Arrival Fairbank
7 SEP SUN arrival Cold Foot (400km)
8 SEP MON arrival Deadhorse (400km)
9 SEP TUE arrival Cold Foot (400km)
10 SEP WED arrival Fairbanks (400km)
Then have a break.
I will head to Fairbanks and wait a day or two if it is not possible, I go south.
Fallback solution is to go by car.
Share your thoughts.

Mission COmplete
... Did the Dalton HWY SUN 7SEP to WED10SEP....
what t say, LUCKY PUNCH, cold but sunny, astonishing view and the last artic tour to the purdahoe bay this season. the activity is only possible from spring onwards now.
Anyone thinking about Dalton HWY in SEP, check the local weather 3-4 days before and for Fairbanks, Coldfoot and Deadhorse, so you will see how it will be.
I checked with wetter.com: Wetter, Wettervorhersage, Wetterbericht, Reise, and it was quite precise what they forecasted.
Can be a desaster, or a lucky punch, Like i had.
Have fun, stay tuned !

Hello,
I'm making that trip next year. I'm Curious to know your route from Edmonton to Cold Foot and how long. I'm a going via Seattle however, will be returning via Edmonton. Dead horse is my goal depending on weather of course. I should be OK in June.
Thank you in advance.

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
