Trek to Alaska
#21
Thanks. Yes June or July are basically it. The only time you can enjoy a bike ride to Alaska.
There are a some riders who make the trek from the southern States but this makes for a long ride like you say. If you have the time to do so it would be a great trip no doubt but many don't have that kind of time especially if your trying to hold down a job. Mostly retired folks can make that type of trip or saving your vacation for a couple yrs if ur working.
We are hoping to attract riders who want to make the trip and do it less time and save some travel. The trip from Western Canada to Alaska and do it right while seeing as much as possible along the way can be done in 3 weeks but anything short of that you will not do it justice.
The Alcan Hwy is a must and is on many riders bucket list I'm sure. By flying to AK and renting a bike you miss out on the Alcan and the many spectacular sites along the way.
Ride Safe

Fantastic Video. Know you had a blast. We did a similar trip from Mississippi up to the Arctic Circle & back in 2013.
Your video brought back lots of great memories!

We stayed off the gravel. Reason behind that is this was a scouting trip for our business and if we take a group of clients next time I can't trust that they would all be experienced enough for roads like that riding touring bikes. But I would have loved to do that and the "Top of the world highway"
We met a couple on the ferry who rode the top of world hwy and crashed ended up in the hospital overnight! Said he hit a sand pocket.
