Ride Alaska and the Yukon with Rider Magazine editor Mark Tuttle!

Features of this 13-day Adventure include:

Current model, low mileage BMW motorcycles.
Support vehicle and trailer for transporting rider luggage, a spare motorcycle, and non-riding companions.
Premium accommodations and meals.
All breakfasts and dinners.
Maximum of 12 guest motorcycles.
Many of Alaska's most scenic highways - primarily paved roads (Alaska's stunning "Top of the World Highway" includes approximately 100 miles of good, hard-packed dirt/gravel).
Free days in Whitehorse (Canda's Yukon Territory) and Fairbanks (Alaska) provide opportunities for optional flight-seeing, wildlife viewing, gold panning, and other activities.
In Whitehorse, admittance to the Frantic Follies - a popular vaudeville revue which depicts the entertainment seen by the pioneers of the Great Klondike Gold Rush of 1898.
The free day in Fairbanks provides the opportunity for an optional side trip to the Arctic Circle (partially unpaved), including a ride along the Alaska Pipeline.
Alaska's Parks Highway, skirting the Denali National Park and providing some of the most stunning scenery in Alaska.
An overnight stay in Talkeetna, at the base of Mt. McKinley - the highest mountain in North America. Talkeetna was the model for Cicely, Alaska - the quirky little town featured in the TV show Northern Exposure. Optional flightseeing excursions may be arranged to nearby Mt. McKinley.
A virtual guarantee to see bear, moose, caribou, elk, and other wildlife.

Our Alaska and Canada schedule has been designed to permit riders wishing to book our Rider Magazine Alaska and Yukon Adventure to also experience our unique 9-day Prudhoe Bay Excursion, which is scheduled immediately after the Alaska and Canada Adventure.
