Alaska trip this summer
Planning a trip to Alaska this coming summer. Leaving Western Pa the last week of June and returning around the first of August. Anyone going to be in the area during that time? Will be riding a 650 v-strom adenture.

I'm considering going around the same timeframe. I'm in southern Maryland. I don't have a dual-sport, though. What is your agenda?

I've thought about riding my strom up there for shits and giggles, but I like to ride slow and look at everything, so it drives people nuts and I usually ride alone.
Do you have some form of strict agenda?

Not really. I've got about a month to play with. Don't mind smelling the roses a little once there, but I'll be looking to just make time on the way to and from, though.

Enter Canada in Erie, Pa, then across to Edmonton. Dawson creek to Dawson city. Then up to Coldfoot & probably to Prudhoe Bay. Then home Thur Glacier Park & then to the Badlands & home. Will be doing some camping.

A friend and I will be leaving San Diego for Inuvik on July 3rd, scheduled to return on August 3rd.

IF, my riding buddy doesn't end up going (he has a hurt foot), I will ride solo.
Same dates, but I will add the Dalton/Deadhorse to the ride.

The Dalton up to Prudhoe Bay should be just about mid- July.

Tenequip,
How far do you intend to travel daily? My thoughts are to push to get up there to get the most out of the time available. I typically stop for gas and bathroom breaks only and eat during those stops.

You'll probably save time and money if you enter Canada North of Grand Forks North Dakota unless you need to see the top of Superior.

Traveling Thur canada

I thing you are probably right, but I haven't been thru that area on the bike. I have ridden thru the Dakotas & it is a little boring.

I will be there sometime between June - August (no clear plan yet).
Plan is to leave San Francisco area around mid May and start slowly going up there (following road #101 towards Seattle).

Are you looking for someone to make the trip with you or just meet up somewhere along the way?
