Tundra Travel
General Information
Welcome to the North Slope Tundra Travel website. The purpose of this site is to share information about the status of off-road travel on the North Slope. The Department of Natural Resources permits and manages off-road travel. This includes ice road construction, winter travel without ice roads, and summer travel using specialized, low impact vehicles. State lands within the Umiat Meridian are designated special use land (ADL 50666) pursuant to 11 AAC 96.014(b). This designation specifies that a permit is required for off-road motorized vehicle use unless that use is for subsistence activities.
