日 2 Seward - 220

We start of tour riding south through one of the top ten roads in the USA, the Seward HWY. Not a long day riding for this first day, so we can leave late, get confortable on our bikes and enjoy the ride! Night in Hotel in Seward.

日 3 Seward - Takeena Peninsula - 380

After doing this route on the Kenai peninsula and riding through the spectacular Seward HW, we return to enjoy it back towards Talkeetna, approaching the area of ​​Denali National Park, and we can already have good views of the old McKenley with its more 6,000m high, being the highest mountain in North America. It has now recovered its original native name, Denali. We will have dinner in a local place in the town.

日 4 Talkeetna - Clearwater Mountain Lodge - 280

We leave Talkeetna to continue north, until the fork with the spectacular Denali HighWay: a wide and simple track of more than 150 km in the middle of nowhere to feel Alaska in all its splendor. To get more into this incredible region, we will sleep in a very basic but very local "lodge" in the middle of this track. In the afternoon time to take a walk in the surroundings and enjoy nature.

日 5 Clearwater Mountain Lodge - Chitina - 350

We continue down Denali HW to Paxon, where it ends. At that moment we will head south towards Chitina, another curious local hotel in the middle of nowhere, the kind that reminds us of the far west. We will sleep here and eat a good hamburger with a great beer, all very American.

日 6 Chitina - Chitina - 200

Today we will leave all our luggage in the hotel since we slept 2 nights in it, a spectacular and comfortable day. We head east to take the track (also wide and simple) towards McCarthy and the old Kenickot mines, a spectacular abandoned 19th century mining town that is being restored and that you can experience what the Far west was at that time. If all goes well, maybe today you will walk on a glacier! In the afternoon we retrace our steps back to Chitina, where we will enjoy with a beer the stories that we have lived that day.

日 7 Chitina - Valdez - 200

We have a calmer day in terms of kilometers, so we will get up calmly to enjoy a good breakfast.
