A picture journal of my trip to and on the James Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay, the Dempster Highway to Inuvik, and anywhere north of the Arctic Circle on June 21st - the summer solstice. My objectives was not the destinations but rather the experience and joy of riding the spectacular roads of Alaska, US and Yukon, Canada. This gallery showcases the ROADS that carried me on my adventure. 20 days, 6,700 miles
Start of every trip is the gear selection. Mine was to allow me to a) stay dry and warm through the rainy days and high mountain passes b) camp , camp cook, and repair my bike at remote locations, and c) to ride knobbies on the dirt roads especially on the Dalton and Dempster highways. Ya I know - it looks like a heavy load but my Wilbur custom suspension is designed to handle traveling loads and dirt roads.
