I have wanted to travel up north for some time. But to go where I would like I needed time off in June-August. My job does not give me the option of taking time off in the summer for the time being.
However this year due to the Vancouver Winter Olympics I lucked out and was able to grab some days off in July!
I had a plan of either touring around Alaska and riding the Dalton Hwy, or I could do a little of Alaska much of the Yukon and the Dempster Highway.
I planned out 2 different general routes for this trip and decided that I would let the weather decide what one I should do. Should it be raining while in the Yukon I would head for Alaska and the Dalton
in hopes of better weather.
I used 2 different cameras. My old one has a scratch on the lens so I purchased a new one just before I left. Shots that I took while moving were the old camera. I didn't get a chance to adjust to the new
camera so not everything came out right. All video is unedited. Some days I covered a lot of ground so there may not be many shots. Here are the pictures from my trip. Hope you enjoy.
Day 1: 744km / 462mi - Abbotsford BC to Prince George BC.
Bike loaded up and ready to roll. People always tell me the bike looks new.
Starting Mileage. 85,168km / 52,921mi. A little bit of a late start to my day.
Day 2: 839km / 521mi - Prince George BC to Fort Nelson BC.
