Hitchhiking in '''Alaska''' in [[winter]] is very dangerous as there are not many major cities, nor many passing vehicles during the winter. For these reasons, most vehicles that do pass will most likely stop for hitchhikers, but trying to travel to precise locations and/or long distances is not recommended.
In summer it is great though. You can get from [[Fairbanks]] to [[Prudhoe bay]] in 2 days on the [[ Dalton Highway ]]. Be careful with hungry bears though.
There are few roads in Alaska that cover any real distance that are not highways. Fortunately, most of the time, the highways are much more friendly than the interstates of the Lower 48. The epic and beautiful scenery calls for a huge number of turnoffs, giving the hitchhiker ample opportunity to walk down the road a bit and still have a decent spot. Many drivers are willing to stop, even from full speed, if they have a place to pull over, and they often do.
