    Sections of tbe Steese aod Elliott highways have not yet been paved. Gravel sections are well-maintained and can be driven by two-wheel-drive vehicles. However, you may encounter tight corners, soft road shoulders, and dusty or slippery conditions depending on the weather, commercial traffic, and road-maintenance equipment. Rocks kicked up by other vehicles can crack your headlights or windshield- slow down and keep your distance. Drive with your lights on to increase visibility in dusty or rainy conditions

    Limited Services The Steese and Elliott highways traverse wiId and scenic country, and basic services may be more limited than you are accustomed to. Cell phone coverage is available only near Fairbanks.

    Go prepared! We recommend you carry: • one or two good spare tires mounted on rims • tire jack and tool kit • emergency flares • extra gasoline, oil, and ,windshield cleaner • drinking water and food • emergency camping gear • first aid kit, insect repeller, and sun screen

    Great sport for fishing and near hot springs

    We stopped here on our way out of Chena hot springs and went fishing. We were the only ones there and it was so peaceful. We really enjoyed it.

    Elliott Highway Pulloff Loop- Dispersed Camping

    Very private

    We were the only ones here and tucked away behind all of the trees and fireweed. Road noise was mild and it got fairly dark under the cover of the trees. We didn’t even get out of our van because the mosquitoes were so bad though. We also saw two porcupines here as well.
