Motorbike from Whtehorse to Skagway Alaska

Yesterday Roger and I left about noon and rode the bikes down through Carcross and  over the White Pass then crossed the border and rode down to Skagway Alaska. Map is here...

All we did was gas up in Skagway and turn around to go back to Whitehorse for the disappointing hockey game. There were 9000 cruise ship guests in the town that day - lots of tour buses buzzing up to the pass.
the road has some spectacular scenery and very little traffic. A wonderful 400km  ride!

Hope you enjoy the photos! Click on any photo to enlarge.
