Alaska anyone??

[dude]

A few pics from my alaska trip a few months ago. The trip was 22 days and covered 12,000km. I started the trip from Vancouver British Columbia, and travelled as far as Inuvik, north west territories.

The Dempster Highway

some sections were a challenge cause of the mud and small stones

awesome landscape

A few of the locals

I think it took 10-12 hours to reach the border of the northwest territories and the yukon. Around 4 hours to inuvik

the Dempster highway was the highlight of my northern trip. Anyone planning a trip to alaska will miss out if they dont do the Dempster in the Yukon/Northwest territories. Its an adventure ride, 750km of gravel, mud, rain, and possible snow going over the pass. Usually the trip up the dempster is a two day trip. I opted to do it in one day and it took 16hrs.

Fantastic .............thanks for posting

3mths touring the West of the US in '04 got me only as far North as Vancouver but the guy I sold my GS to bought it to do an Alaskan trip. He made me wish that I could've have kept the bike and carried on riding myself.

thanks for the comments. I could of wrote more, but I think the pictures say it all. Im not much of a writer. The camera was on olympus, not sure what kind though. Just a regular point and shoot.

As for 16hrs in the saddle, It was not problem. I could of done 24hrs. When its daylight 24hrs the sun keeps you awake. Lots of standing on pegs to relieve butt......

I took around 500 pictures and also vidio taped the whole trip. Unfortunately im to busy to organize the vids and pictures. Maybee this winter
