Steese Highway

Pictures by QT Luong

The Steese Highway runs from Fairbanks to Circle, a town which is actually 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle. As it was originally opened for gold mining, several historic mining camps (such as Chatanika) can be found along the Steese Highway. The Steese Highway passes through rugged, unpopulated areas so there is little traffic and light pollution along, making it a good choice for viewing the Northern Lights starting from Cleary Summit, only half an hour from Fairbanks.
