good day trip off the dalton?

anybody have any suggestions for a good day trip off the dalton? i’ve been looking at thw jim river mainly because i am interested in doing some fishing as well, but would not be opposed to something a bit more technical either. i’m in fairbanks so don’t want to drive too far north; something that would be doable by leaving at the ass crack of dawn and getting back late that evening would be ideal.

thanks,
chris
