Book Flights with Alaska Airlines into Prudhoe Bay (SCC-Deadhorse) AK. If possible book to arrive on the morning flight on the way in and the evening flight on the way out. With morning fog common in Deadhorse this allows the max opportunity for Shublik Outfitters to get you in and out of Shublik Lodge.

Deadhorse is a working outpost and is not incorporated as a city, town, or village. It is located within the North Slope Borough which is dry (no alcohol allowed). You are above the Arctic Circle at this point and close to the arctic ocean which lends to foggy conditions often, be prepared to overnight in Deadhorse. We will do our best to get you into Shublik Lodge, Point of Outfitting, as soon as it is possible. The lodge is 100 air miles to the SE of Deadhorse.

In Deadhorse, if stuck due to weather, there is lodging available and runs around $200 a night. We do not recommend booking ahead if you need to stay a night or two, there has always been availability.
