Join the Aerostich Tours Team on the "Tag the Deadhorse" Adventure Ride. An expertly supported exploration across Northern Alaska to the Arctic Ocean. Experience incredible riding, phenomenal natural environments, and a powerfully renewing adventure on this trip from Fairbanks to the end of the continent at Deadhorse, Alaska and back. This is a world-class ride through some of the most remote parts of North America. See caribou herds and other wildlife, cross the Arctic Circle, go for a swim in the Arctic Ocean or soak in hot springs, and enjoy historic hotels and rustic roadhouses. Dr. Gregory Frazier, professional motorcycle adventurer, author and moto-journalist, sums up the scope of this trip by saying, “The top of the North American check-list for adventure motorcyclists is to reach Deadhorse, Alaska, the point furthest north on the North American continent one can pilot their motorcycle. Deadhorse, also known as Prudhoe Bay, is at the northern end of the treacherous Dalton Highway. The 416 mile Dalton Highway crosses the Yukon River, Arctic Circle and Brooks Mountain range, some of the most spectacular scenery in North America. The road can be mud, ice, gravel, and broken macadam in the best of weather conditions. The longest stretch between gas and service stations is 242 miles.”
