The Alaska Kenai Peninsula adventure is a great way to get your feet wet with Alaska riding.

Another popular trip while we’re in Alaska is our Prudhoe Bay Adventure. On this itinerary, riders experience stunning scenery and wildlife that is completely, well, wild. Stops include Denali National Park, Fairbanks, the Arctic Circle and, of course, Prudhoe Bay. This trip will take you as far north as you possibly can go on the North American continent, which is often the allure of this adventure. And it truly is an adventure, with 60% paved roads, along with 40% dirt/gravel. To be clear, this isn’t a Sunday drive, but the sights and scenery are hard to pass up!

ALASKA NORTHERN LIGHTS ADVENTURE
August 22, 2020 – August 30, 2020
August 21, 2021 – August 29, 2021
Something on many people’s bucket list is seeing the Northern Lights. Lucky for you, Alaska and the aurora borealis go together like a motorcyclist and the open road, prompting us to create the Alaska Northern Lights adventure. We schedule this tour late in the riding season so participants have the highest possibility of seeing the aurora borealis while on a two wheeled adventure. This itinerary includes some of the best riding in south-central Alaska. Most of the trip is spent on paved roads, but there is also some non-paved surfaces as well, among them the world-class dirt-surfaced Denali Highway. This itinerary is packed with amazing stops and of course the coup d’etat, Mother Nature’s most mysterious atmospheric phenomenon!
