We flew from Japan to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in midJune 2023 to ride the Dalton Highway to Fairbanks. The route stretches through 500 miles of Alaskan wilderness, with only one settlement at the midway point and a couple smaller camps closer to Fairbanks. We carried all of the food we needed for 10 days of riding by far the most we'd ever had on our bikes!

We were blown away by the scenery and wildlife in the Arctic Circle, and while mosquitoes put a damper on our spirits during the second half of the ride, it was definitely an unforgettable experience!
