Dalton Highway:
Natural Resources and Nature
Host Chip Brookes follows the Trans-Alaska Pipeline
in an adventure that highlights contrasts often found in Alaska.
Wildfires and smoldering tundra mark the start of the journey with an
overnight at Coldfoot Camp, the center of construction during the heyday of pipeline construction. Next is a visit to Wiseman to explore its mining roots and the Kahlabuk Memorial Prayer Chapel. From there, the destination is Galbraith Lake for a painting class in the foothills of the Brooks Range with local artist David Mollett, and a stop at the University of Alaska Fairbanks Toolik Field Station
where researchers from across the globe gather year-round to conduct
scientific research in the arctic. Finally, it's a hike to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or ANWR, followed by a stop in Deadhorse, a tour of Prudhoe Bay and a dip in the Arctic Ocean.
