The Denali Highway


Once again avoiding crowds, we decided to skip the big city of Fairbanks and instead ride the Denali Highway – a 130 mile gravel road through the mountains - a new route fo Roger too.  Great decision – we were rewarded with spectacular views the whole way . The road was good and the bikes performed well on the smooth gravel, frequently getting up to100 km/h.  Around every corner there was a new vista of broad green valleys, stunning rivers and magnificent glacier clad mountains.  We stopped frequently – here are the pics...

Back to pavement



The oil pipeline - seems out of place

Ending the day with straight highway

Roger relaxes.
