BTW - Alaska's other major unpaved road, the Denali Highway, is almost as extreme as the Haul Road (Dalton Highway) but arguably more dangerous. It is not maintained (i.e., plowed) for around nine months of the year, from early fall to late spring. People are strongly advised to avoid it during those periods. (The few who have tried have almost always died.)

Since January, 1980, I have traveled just about every highway in Alaska. I have not tackled the Denali Highway, and probably never will, largely due to the risk involved. (This is surprising to people who know me because activities involving a significant degree of risk were routine for me, especially when I was younger.)
Interesting that they call it a highway, yet recommend not exceeding 35 mph?
