2010 Yukon Solo Motorcycle Trip

These pages describe a solo motorcycle trip I took in July/August of 2010, from my home just south of Spokane Valley, Washington, USA to Canada's Yukon. I got as far north as about 100 miles below the Arctic Circle (road washed out there) and as far east as the Alaska border (road washed out there too). The plan was for a big loop, returning through Alaska and down the Stewart-Cassiar highway, but it was closed by a forest fire.

Other than the fact that three of the major roads I'd planned were closed when I was there, I had a great trip. Got reaquainted with an old friend, met a couple new ones, and experienced a bunch of new-to-me roads. The bike worked great, and I had a wonderful time. It is, after all, more about the journey than the destination...

This page has maps of my approximate route, links to day-by-day narratives with photos (the underlined dates are links), some numbers about the trip, and some shots that I think might make good screen backgrounds.
