Leaving June 30th from Baltimore, MD; north to Buffalo then across the Trans Canada Highway to the Alaskan Highway over the Top of the World Highway taking the round-about way via Denali to Fairbanks and north to Coldfoot if the weather gods cooperate. Returning through the Canadian National Parks back to just before Bike Week at Sturgis, then home by the end of July. I figure 11,000 miles before I'm home again. I know my bike (and me) is going to be beaten up, but I bought it to ride and ride it I will. I love the idea of riding up to Antigan. I have a meeting next with with the other two guys going, and I'll present them with this idea of another 70 miles north of Coldfoot till the pass. I am confident that if the weather holds out we would be willing to attempt to get to the pass.

I'm not real "FOO FOO" But I wouldn't want to stay at Yukon River Camp. There is Nothing There. Gas,Food Move ON. You'll have Plenty of Daylight!

I agree with rydeer. I did stop at the Yukon River Camp for gas only so I have no experience with the lodging there. However, If that's your plan I would advise you to make reservations well ahead of your arrival or you could end up in a tent. Not many rooms available by chance on the Dalton. Between the Yukon River Camp and Coldfoot is the Hot Spot Cafe. A great place for lunch.

About 2 weeks closer. I picked up a full face helmet a couple of days ago that I had one of the shops put on order for me. I went out Thursday night and rode around with it on, and let me tell you, what a weird experience. I've never had a full face on before except for a dirtbike helmet. Completely different vibe.
