Arctic Circle Camp Tour
Dates:
Saturday June 28th - Saturday July 5th, 2003
Join us to the Arctic Circle!
There is something about crossing the Yukon River on your way north! Leave
behind civilization, and ride through untouched nature, as you have never
experienced before! This tour is for those who want to see the “Real
Alaska”….the untamed north!This is an eight-day/seven night
tour starting and ending in Wasilla (40 miles north of Anchorage). The
first and last nights will be B&B, with 5 nights of camping along
the route. This tour covers a vast distance, and takes us to the Arctic
Circle and back. Along the way we have a chance to see Mt. McKinley, cross
the Yukon River, and ride along the Alaska Range on our last great dirt
highway, the Denali Highway. During the six days of the tour we will cover
a total distance of 1,220 miles, 771 miles of that being paved and 449
miles of dirt. (This does not include various side trips of exploration.)
