Alaska Bike Trips

Alaska is known as "America's Last Frontier." Featuring a longer coastline than all other U.S. states combined, thousands of glaciers, 3 million lakes, 127 million acres of forest land and 39 mountain ranges, the state is a natural wonder. One way for Alaska visitors to separate themselves from the tourist crowds is to take a bike trip, trips that can vary in length from hours to multiple days, to explore the hidden corners the state has to offer.
  1. Valley of the Eagles Trip

    • Offered by Sockeye Cycle Co., the Valley of the Eagles bike trip is a three-day adventure through the Haines, Alaska area. The guided journey allows only up to 12 riders per trip, which keeps the adventure intimate. You will bike along coastal routes, through tundras and into the rain forest. Common sights include whales, bald eagles and wildflowers. The tour includes the bike, a helmet, lunch and water. Bikers can expect to travel anywhere from 10 to 50 miles per day when taking the tour. The Valley of the Eagles trip is considered a moderately strenuous bike tour.

    Golden Circle Tour

    • The Golden Circle Alaskan bike tour is a self-guided, seven-day, 360-mile ride throughout the southeast portion of Alaska and the northwest portion of Canada. A tour for the independent adventurer, the trip begins in Haines and journeys through Skagway and the Yukon Territory in Canada. Other highlights include the Alaskan-Canadian highway and Whitehorse, the capital of the Yukon Territory. Bikers can expect to camp overnights and cook meals with equipment provided by Sockeye Cycle Co. The tour includes a bicycle, first aid kit, bear spray, camping equipment and overnight lodging in Haines and Skagway.

    Yukon Bike Tour

    • The Yukon Bike Tour is a nine-day cycling trip that explores Canada's Yukon Territory and the cities of Skagway and Anchorage, Alaska. Riders meet in Skagway and travel into the scenic Yukon Territory, before ending in Anchorage. The Yukon Territory has one-third of the population density of Alaska and is filled with mountains, rivers and forests. Average daily cycling is 75 miles, and the trip consists primarily of riding on paved, but remote roads. Although the Yukon Bike Tour is a cycling trip, riders will also travel by ferry to cross rivers along the route and by van to designated start points.
