This airport, just off the Dalton Highway, was a major supply link during the construction of the Alaska pipeline during the 70's. The Dalton Highway, also called the Haul Road, is one of the northern-most roads in the world. It was originally constructed by Alyeska Pipeline Service Company to support the development of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and to service the oil fields on Alaska’s North Slope. This is an excellent stop on the flight from Fairbanks (PAFA) to Dead Horse (PASC) at the northern end of the pipeline.
Galbraith Lake Airport (ICAO: PAGB, FAA LID: GBH) is a state-owned, public-use airport located at Galbraith Lake in the North Slope Borough of the U.S. state of Alaska. The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has an office at the airport. The lake and airport are located west of the Dalton Highway and north of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System's Pump Station 4. According to the FAA's National Plan of Integrated Airport Systems for 2009–2013, it was classified as a general aviation airport.

Nothing like landing in the middle of a mountain range! Beautiful scenery and a nice airstrip.
