Photo: Alaska Oil Pipeline Arctic Winter

In order to take full advantage of your Alaskan visit plan your trip wisely and know where your next fill-up is.

Stopping for gas on the way there takes on a whole new meaning in Alaska at any time. Any trip in Alaska requires a plan of action especially in Arctic temperatures. The Trans Alaska Pipeline moves fuel for 800 miles across Alaska from Prudhoe Bay to Valdez. For that matter, any gas station you find in the Arctic on your frozen adventure is probably a good thing.
