Join us to the Arctic Circle!
There is something about crossing the Yukon River on your way north!
Leave behind civilization, and ride through untouched nature, as
you have never experienced before! This tour is for those who want
to see the “Real Alaska”….the untamed north!This
is an eight-day/seven night tour starting and ending in Wasilla
(40 miles north of Anchorage). The first and last nights will be
B&B, with 5 nights of camping along the route. This tour covers
a vast distance, and takes us to the Arctic Circle and back. Along
the way we have a chance to see Mt. McKinley, cross the Yukon River,
and ride along the Alaska Range on our last great dirt highway,
the Denali Highway. During the six days of the tour we will cover
a total distance of 1,220 miles, 771 miles of that being paved and
449 miles of dirt. (This does not include various side trips of
exploration.)
