Coldfoot
is a census-designated place located in Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska.
As of the 2000 census, the population of the CDP is 13.
Coldfoot is basically a truck stop on
the Dalton Highway from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay. It has a restaurant,
and a small number of overnight accommodations (converted pipeline construction
camp quarters). Bus tours along the highway typically take two days, and
passengers spend the night here. The BLM, USFWS, and NPS jointly staff
a small visitor center during the summer. The Coldfoot truck stop was
founded by Iditarod champion Dick Mackey who started his operation by
selling hamburgers out of a converted school bus. Truckers helped build
the existing truck stop and cafe.
The town was originally a mining camp named "Slate
Creek", and around 1900 got its present name when prospectors
going up the nearby Koyukuk River would get "cold feet" and
turn around. In 1902 Coldfoot had two roadhouses, two stores, seven saloons,
and a gambling house. A post office operated from 1902 to 1912, then reopened
in 1984.
Coldfoot Airport,
on the west side of the Dalton Highway, consists of a 4,000-foot (1220-metre)
gravel strip.
Coldfoot is located at 67°14'55"
North, 150°9'3" West (67.248575, -150.150735)GR1.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP
has a total area of 95.9 km² (37.0 mi²). 95.9 km² (37.0
mi²) of it is land and none of it is covered by water.
