Alaska Yukon Bike Tour
Cycling the Best of the Yukon & Alaska
Pedalers' Alaska bicycle tour across Alaska and Yukon offers a cycle where the sun never sets. Starting with a ferry ride from Juneau to Haines, you will be welcomed to the Alaskan scene by visions of dolphins dancing in the waves and sea otters lazing on the shore. These sights are only the first of many, as the Alaskan Yukon Bike Tour takes you deep into the Alaskan and Canadian mountain ranges, along the Klehini River, and into the Yukon Territory. You will ride through endless untouched forests, past the turquoise blue of Kluane Lake, and between the Chugach and Wrangell Mountains, all the while experiencing landscapes more beautiful than you can imagine. The trip ends as it began, with a ferry across the Prince William Sound, giving you the chance to say farewell to the sea-life and glaciers that first greeted you.
The sense of wonder never has to stop, as you will spend the nights in scenic campgrounds, small ranches, and authentic lodges. You will also have the opportunity to make your own adventures in the places you visit, spending free time exploring the towns or seeking out more nature vistas.
