Cycling Alaska and Northwest Canada

The far northwest is one of North America's last wilderness regions, vast landscapes stretch to the horizons, herds of wildlife still graze in the summer grass and vast tracts of developement don't exist. It is a region where you can set out on your bike and pedal for hours through undulating terrain, with beautiful views and hardly a car to distrub the peace and quiet. Pedalers offers you a couple of different ride options through this scenic land: the only fully supported ride the entire length of the famed Al-Can Highway; and a unique tour through a variety of Alaska's environments.

The Great Alaska Highway Ride   >>more details

Truly the ultimate wilderness road bike ride, a 1400 mile journey along the infamous Al-Can Highway. This paved highway wends its way from the green forested hills of northern British Columbia, through river valleys backed up by glacier draped mountain ranges in the Yukon Territory, to the homesteaded towns of eastern Alaska. Towns, like the traffic, are few and far between, you can count all of the cities along the route on one hand. But the scenery is spectacular and our overnight stops delightful, how about soaking in a hot tub overlooking the turquoise waters of Kluane Lake, or perhaps fresh baked sweet rolls under a canopy of firs during breakfast. A once in a lifetime, must do ride.

BEARS - Bicycling Extraordinary Alaskan Roads   >>more details Our shorter Alaska ride showcases many parts of the North Star State. Starting at the conclusion of our Alaska Highway Ride, it rolls south visiting the dramatic scenery of Denali National Park and the lushly forested hills of the Matanuska Valley. Pedal the historic Richardson Highway to Valdez and discover the wildlife of Prince William Sound by ferry. Everywhere we pedal, unfolds a new view of the many wonders of Alaska and its hardy, gregarious folks. Enjoy bicycling under the midnight sun.

A Grand Journey

Why not combine both rides for an unforgetable journey of a lifetime. Once you have pedaled up the Alaska Highway to the 49th state, you owe it to yourself to experience Alaska as well. The BEARS ride is always scheduled after the Great Alaska Highway Ride with a few days in between to explore Fairbanks and beyond. 2008 will be our tenth running of the Alaska Highway, why not make it the year you take your Grand Journey to Alaska.
