Review:
Formerly a gold mining settlement, Coldfoot is little more than a truck stop halfway between Fairbanks and the Arctic Ocean. However, its remote location and its position at the 67° parallel north make it an ideal destination for anyone interested in seeing the aurora. The area is home to a lodge known as Coldfoot Camp, which offers rustic accommodation, dining options, and assistance booking local activities and excursions. Many tour companies based out of Fairbanks and Anchorage bring visitors here, but it's also possible to drive yourself; the lodge sells fuel and can help with minor tire repairs. Map
