Latest Plan (Update 1/27/20)

This Great Northern Bike Ride started as an excursion up the AlCan Highway from Dawson Creek to Delta Junction, covering 1422 miles, but gradually morphed into a 14-day Whitehorse-Skagway-Haines-Haines Junction Loop with 280 bike miles.  Initially, we thought we could do an Inn-to-Inn tour, but there are no services along our route.  In fact, there is hardly anything along our route except  the most spectacular scenery in Alaska / Yukon / British Columbia.  Expect a sensory overload.

The plan is simple:

1. Fly into Anchorage and rent an RV with the option of renting bicycles (or flying them in)
2. Drive the RV to Whitehorse (705 miles from Anchorage).
3. Bike from Whitehorse to Skagway doing approximately 40 miles/day while taking turns driving the RV as a chase vehicle
4. Camp in the evenings in the RV
5. Spend two days in Skagway and take the train ride excursion up White Pass.
6. Ferry to Haines
7. Ride from Haines to Haines Junction, again doing about 40 miles /day and RV camping in the evening.
8. Drive the RV back to Anchorage.

The total estimated cost of the 14-day trip is $3,500 /pp.
