Alaska in very easy to navagate from city to city. It does have a very large amount of back country that requires alternative methods of navigation. As for the temp., I was there in June and the temps. were in the 80s and 90s. When I traveled above Coldfoot the temp. did start to drop and was in the low 20s when I arrived in Barrow.

That place looks pretty cool, but desolate. haha

It is a very interesting place. I am sure the people living there like it but the cold, wind and no green anywhere did not appeal to me. I am very glad to have visited for a short period.

This place is the best way to stereotype alaska for being cold..... This is not the everyday alaska! this is the farthest north you can go! I live in a dak, rains alot not too cold... Heck in fairbanks a few years ago it was up to around 90 F!!

@trkolb

The high for that day was 35 F. The rest of that week was similar.
