ADVGRRLS Review of BOREAL LODGE off the DALTON HIGHWAY on Trip Adviser
Much nicer and cheaper than Coldfoot! You should remember this place if you are going to ride the Dalton! 😉 We promised the owners of this lodge we would post a review on Trip Adviser and I finally got around to doing just that…the review was just approved.
- Dalton Highway is North of Fairbanks
We rode our motorcycles up the Dalton Highway this summer, 2011 and were told about this Lodge by some fellow ADV riders. Much better than the Coldfoot accommodations and half the price. Only about 13 miles north of Coldfoot and 3 miles off the Dalton and you get a wonderful host family, clean facilities and just a nice place to stay warm for the night en-route to Deadhorse. Don’t expect cook meals but the main Lodge has some canned goods and staple foods for you to buy. Coldfoot is not far away if yo must have someone cook for you.
There is a shared kitchen that you can use and it is stocked with pots and pans, even coffee for you to make in the morning. No WIFI unless you are in the main lodge. Just FYI.
Highly recommend this place over Coldfoot not only for the price but the location. Oh, not many rooms, only 5 and a cabin so maybe call a head to make sure they have room.

Very useful info for those traveling this region, What is the $ for accommodation here and average fuel cost this far north.
We paid $90 for the two of us at Boreal Lodge versus $190 at Coldfoot. Gas averaged around $4.00 + a gallon and I think we paid at least once even $6.00
