I thought I might share the footage I captured of the aurora borealis in Alaska. This is from my road trip in 2019. I was constantly on the lookout for auroras, and I thought I had seen some good ones until this night. I have no frame of reference to know if this is considered a strong aurora or not, but I was completely in awe that night.

During September of 2019, I drove the Dalton Highway in Alaska. Atigun Pass is the most dangerous part of what has been called the most dangerous highway. It's a beautiful, but desolate and remote highway with lots of wildlife, and stunning views. I loved driving it, and I hope that one day I can do it again on another trip through Alaska. If you're considering this trip as part of your road trip through Alaska, I highly recommend it, but make sure your rental allows it, or that you are driving your own vehicle (high-clearance, 4wd preferred). Make sure you plan ahead. Plan on being self-sufficient. Read and understand the BLM visitor's guide (link below). I recommend printing the guide as well, so you have a paper map. It's hard to get lost, since there are virtually no connecting roads, but it is nice to know what points of interest are coming up.

I hear it's very similar, but I didn't drive the Dempster because I didn't give myself enough time when I told the Canadian border patrol how long I was staying in Canada. I fully regret that I didn't drive it, and if I plan another trip up to that part of the world, I will definitely include it in my travels.
