Yukuto Oda关于Touring Routes · Roadside Stations的点评

The Dalton Highway is a road riders around the world dream of riding at least once. The Arctic scenery unfolding beyond the unpaved stretches is irreplaceable. Honestly, hearing about development plans there is painful. I can't help but wish that a place you can spread out a map and dream "someday" about will still be there forever.

I'd heard the name Dalton Highway before, but didn't realize it was carrying this kind of development risk.

How many riders actually visit this road each year on adventure tours?

It's the marquee route for crossing Alaska, so if it disappeared it'd really thin out North American touring options.

This might've been a somewhat foreseeable outcome from the moment it transferred from federal to state control.

Selling it to a mining company makes me worry how much consideration is really being given to environmental and landscape impact.

The Dalton Highway being threatened by development must be disappointing news for riders who've made it a pilgrimage.
