Motorcycle Roads in Alaska
"Alaska (AK) is a scenic paradise offering long & lonely roads to those who venture up north to this ""last frontier"" of America. The state offers motorcycle riders endless miles of unspoiled natural beauty to include mountains, forests, coastlines, and wildlife. For many, the biggest challenge will be getting your motorcycle too this great state as the path from the lower 48 to Alaska is not entirely paved and so gravel road traveling will be a necessity. However, once you get there, the challenges will not be over as weather, lodging, and wildlife concerns are factors that must always be planned around. However, if you make the journey and join the few that have toured this great state by two-wheels, you will no doubt have made memories for a lifetime.
