RIDING ALASKA COULD JUST BE THE ULTIMATE COMBINATION OF NATURE AND A ROAD TRIP WORDS DR JAMES CRANDELL

Alaska’s license plates read “The Last Frontier” and for many Americans a trip there is the ride of a lifetime. But the beautiful, natural vistas work for everybody. Alaska is big, really big, and the mountains, glaciers, rivers, and forests can be awe-inspiring. It’s a great place to tour by motorcycle.

Most Australians who visit Alaska take a cruise up the Inside Passage in the extreme southeast of the state and miss out on the variety and grandeur of the rest of the state.

I rode up the Alaska Highway from my home in Alberta, Canada, a distance of 3240 kilometres to Anchorage. I then joined an organized tour, which went to the Kenai Peninsula, then circumferentially toured the interior with an extension to the Arctic Circle and a trip to the port of Valdez. The scenery was spectacular.
