I rode Dalton highway couple months ago (Heidenau K60 Scout tires).
Two days up (sunny and dry) and two days down (heavy rain).
You can get fuel from Yukon crossing (bridge over Yukon river and immediately on the left hand side (north side of the river).
Another place to get fuel is Coldfoot.
If you have a tent, you can camp free in Coldfoot.
I was expecting something special from this road due to so many discussions ongoing online, but I was totally disappointed. It is just a normal gravel road (not even a good one because it is spoiled with several sections of pavement).
When it started raining, I was expecting slippery surface and real struggle, but once again, nothing.
It was a bit muddy, but nothing like "extra" slippery, just a normal wet gravel road, speed can easily be kept around 50-60mph without fear for sliding off the road.
Of course, if you have street tires, it can be more difficult. Or if you are not comfortable with gravel roads, it can be an "adventure".
