In 2017, Craig and two friends (Peter and Steven) decided it was time to take the pilgrimage to Alaska. After dreaming and planning it looked like the total mileage was going to be just shy of 12,000 and the time necessary would be in the neighborhood of 5 weeks.
From Boise the three friends rode together for three weeks before Peter and Steven had to ship their bikes home and board a plane. Craig would again finish off the trip alone for the final week. On the way home, Craig would visit a couple of places he had always wanted to see, Bad Lands National Park and Bear Tooth Pass.
This ride can be completed on any kind of motorcycle, but an adventure bike is probably the best suited. Many rides make the trip on their Harleys or Goldwings and just have to slow down on the unpaved sections. The Alaska Highway is paved all the way up; however, you will run into long sections that are under construction, which means dirt and/or gravel. If you decide to do the Top of the World Highway, it is not paved, but it is well maintained and easily passably when dry.
