It is well known that the road from Whitehorse to Skagway is great motorcycling. Although we did it all in the rain.... it was still spectacular. The topography changes continually from deep forested mountains, to lots of rocks with little vegetation.... lots of crystal clear blue lakes and a beautiful aqua green lake. The road was so impressive because of the vastness of this great wilderness. Not a house to be seen for 2 hours... we hardly met any other vehicles.... just pure beauty and tranquility. It seems that we are all so insignificant when we look at the natural beauty around us which has been here forever. We are heading back on the same road on Tuesday and the weather forecast looks good so we will have some photos to share.
We arrived safe and sound at the Chilkoot Trail Outpost Lodge in Dyea.... an 8 mile very winding dirt road to get to it ... what a beautiful spot... here for two days.
We took a trip into Skagway in the afternoon... quaint little Alaskan town. See Roberto below at a Skagway typical business.
For motorcycle riders
... just wanted to clarify that the really bad stretch of road with potholes yesterday was from Beavercreek to Destruction Bay.... aptly named as our bikes did look destroyed... full of mud ... even in the exhaust pipes... So around 160kms of bad road.... Destruction Bay to Whitehorse was good.
