Drive Nome's three extraordinary backcountry roads — the only roads in Alaska that lead to nowhere — through Arctic tundra, ghost towns, and gold dredges on a fully guided, multi-road expedition.
What to expect
Nome is one of very few places on earth where you can drive into the untamed Arctic on maintained roads and then have them simply end at wilderness. Your guided expedition covers gold dredges abandoned mid-century, native Inupiaq cultural sites, sweeping tundra panoramas, and the ghost town of Council on the Fish River. Wildlife — musk ox, fox, migratory birds — appear frequently and without warning. The pace is yours: stop when a view demands it.
Good to know
Full-day and multi-day configurations available; confirm single-day itinerary availability directly with Alaska Tours for port-call scheduling. The three-road full circuit is best treated as a full day out — verify all-aboard time carefully before booking.
