I did the same trip a week earlier. It was great. It snowed five inches on the north side of the Brooks Range, so for that stretch it was only thirty degrees and the road was muddy.

You guys were fortunate. When I rode it in 2014, it rain/sleeted/snowed about 75 percent of the trip to the point of standing water. The easy Dalton you described was a full on nightmare. 2 riders were air evac while we were there, another went down coming the other way from us but was okay and the road construction-pretty much in the same place as yours was- deep mud and foot deep ruts that went on for I'm guessing about 15 miles. Dont get me wrong, it was fantastic and worth every minute. But riders need to respect it. To fail to do that is at your own risk.........
