Atigun is known among bush pilots for the difficulty of crossing the pass with small planes; Anaktuvuk Pass is favored as the safer flying route.

The pass is often shown on the third and fourth seasons of the History Channel reality series Ice Road Truckers, which focuses on the challenges of driving on the Dalton Highway.

Climate

Although the latitude of Atigun Pass is very high, the climate type of the place is still close to the alpine climate (Köppen: ETH). In addition, the precipitation in this place is about 5 times that of places such as Utqiagvik and Umiat.
