  • For my big trip of 2024, I decided to return to Alaska by Motorcycle. I had ridden there in 2017 with a couple of friends, but this time I would make the trip alone. This video covers days 17 - 20 of this 12,000 mile adventure as I rode from Hazelton, BC to Watson Lake, YT.

    Monotonous scenery….
    Ride across Nebraska and Kansas to give urself a gauge.
    Every time after that, no matter how monotonous the scenery seems I always remind myself….at least it’s not Nebraska and Kansas.😃
    Everything is relative.
    Love ur content!

    Nice footage and well edited as usual. Those meal and lodging prices you're paying blow my mind. About twice what mine run. I should share this one with my wife for brownie points.

      More carbs in a day than I consume in a month or two.

    A couple of my wife’s distant relatives married a couple of those soldiers working on the Alaska Hwy. The offspring to my knowledge, still live in Texas I believe and I’ve been told the “cousins” of said family remain in touch with their Alberta counterparts.

    Craig, you're such an inspiration, i just turned 60, but not ready yet for retirement though, a bit different here in Mexico to retire early. I own a motorcycle since 5 years ago, me an my wife have travel more in these 5 years than before. We have enjoyed so much your videos that we started to plan that trip to Alaska, which month was when you reached Prince Rupert?

    Another fabulous video. I am enjoying your trip and can’t wait to see all your travels. One thing about the costs of food and gas in B.C. - British COlumbia. To the rest of us in Canada B.C. Stands for bring cash - yep, it is know to be expensive. Stay safe and thanks for sharing

    Yes I know what you mean, I stopped at Prince Rupert on our southerly ride. We chose the old Fish Cannery for our attraction. Susquatch is getting a little grey.

    I know this video posted late last night, here on the East coast but I'm watching on Sunday morning while eating my breakfast and, lo and behold, I'm having breakfast with Craig right at the start. A satisfying meal and hot cup of coffee goes a long way after the cold and wet. Great segment of your trip, albeit just a tad moist. The Prince Rupert rest day seemed great and that scenery around Bell 2 was very nice even with the weather. Best wishes to the kid on the new Himalayan. I hope he let's you know what he decided to do with his trip and what he thought of the RE.

    Bummer about Kathy’s Place. We ate breakfast there also in 2019 on one of our passes through Watson Lake. We stayed and ate also at Andreas, but they weren’t open for breakfast as early as we got up so we walked to Kathy’s.

    Thank you for sharing your trip. A few years ago I went to Alaska via Canada and did not have time to go to Prince Rupert. You have inspired me to take another trip to see the parts i missed. You are so right about the gas stops. I found that there were several gas stations that were closed. I never ran completely out but came close. Get gas when you can. Good advise!

    I took an Alaska cruise several years ago. One of the stops was Prince Rupert. We had really nice weather I guess I was lucky too. Now you have me thinking about a motorcycle trip there. :)

    I am a guy, so when you said 7 sisters park, and 7 peaks, I am guessing they are two by two as they looked like female breasts. I am a mature man that sees beauty. Those peaks are well worth the memory of this journey. Anyways, this is one heck of a journey and we'll documented. Learning from you 😊

    All Harley riders look like they're old, alone, and really have no destination

    • @Robnord1
      @Robnord1 День тому +1

      Must be a regional thing. Here in western WA most Harley riders are rarely seen on the road, but most commonly in clusters at taverns on fair weather days only.

      @Robnord1 they stand around with perrier water looking for someone to talk bikes with.
      It's really sad to watch.
      They spend their weekends riding to some useless lakeside Cafe to pose around for a few hours
