Alaska Highway Bike Tour
Bicycling the Al-Can Highway
Get ready to conquer the legendary Alaska Highway on two wheels! Our Alaska Highway Bicycle Tour offers an unforgettable cycling adventure, pedaling from Milepost Zero through breathtaking wilderness to the Alaskan border. Experience the best of the Al-Can, from historic landmarks and quirky small towns to stunning landscapes where bison and black bears roam. This is your chance to cycle the route of the original World War II highway, explore pristine lakes, and soak in natural hot springs, all while enjoying the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.
Your journey begins in Dawson Creek, British Columbia, and takes you through diverse terrains, including the rolling hills of British Columbia, the dramatic Steamboat Mountain, and the turquoise waters of Kluane Lake. Each day brings new discoveries, from charming roadside stops like the Tetsa River Ranch (home of the legendary cinnamon buns!) to unique accommodations like the hat-adorned Toad River Lodge. You'll explore historic sites, learn about the region's rich history, and indulge in local culinary delights, including the famed Alaskan craft beers that will cap off our adventure.
Along the way, you wil encounter stunning vistas of the St. Elias Range, keep an eye out for wildlife, and experience the tranquility of Muncho Lake Provincial Park. You'll also have opportunities to relax and rejuvenate, whether it's soaking in the Liard Hot Springs or exploring the quirky signpost forest at Watson Lake. This Alaska bike tour isn't just a ride; it's an immersive experience, a chance to connect with the wild heart of Alaska and create memories that will last a lifetime. Join us for one of Alaska's best bicycle tours and experience the adventure of a lifetime!

If you're visiting from outside the U.S., don't forget your passport! U.S. citizens can travel freely, but international guests should check visa requirements for entry.
Frontier Grub & Gourmet Cuisine
Dining on our Alaska trips is one of contrasts. Some evenings our remote lodges offer frontier grub, hearty family cooking that is heavy on meats, fish and potatoes, similar to what early residents survived on. Other nights we dine on outstanding culinary treats with salmon, halibut, garden fresh salads, delightful homemade deserts.
Travelers considering the trip need to be aware that the tour is not vegetarian friendly, as choices at remote lodges may be limited to salad and fries for non meat or fish eaters.

Good Gear
Pedalers provides Fuji Sportif, a lightweight, touring road bike. The bikes are equipped with beefier tires to handle Alaskan roads, disc brakes, dropbars and a wide range of gearing for the rolling terrain.
As a safe health measure, guests are asked to bring their own helmets and waterbottles for cycling.
