Atigun Pass (el. 1415 m./4643 ft.) is a high mountain pass across the Brooks Range in Alaska. While famous among bush pilots for difficulty of crossing the pass with small planes (Anaktuvuk Pass is favored as the safer flying route), it is the only pass in the Brooks Range that is crossed by a road (the Dalton Highway). The pass is often shown on the third season of the History Channel's reality series Ice Road Truckers, which focused on the challenges of driving on the Dalton Highway. Atigun has taken many off the road and is home to avalanches during the winter.
