Elliot Highway Getting there & around

Getting there & away

With so little traffic on Elliot Hwy, hitching is ill-advised - though if someone does come along, they'll likely take pity on you. Alternatively, you can rent a vehicle in Fairbanks, but you'll have to go with a company that permits driving on gravel roads. Finally, Warbelow's Air Ventures (474-0518, 800-478-0812; www.warbelows.com), in Fairbanks, has regular flights to Manley Hot Springs for $140 round-trip.
