ALASKA FLY&RIDE · TWO DEPARTURES · JUN–JUL 2027
Alaska Fly&Ride 2027
Seattle → Dalton Highway → Prudhoe Bay → Anchorage. The road to Prudhoe Bay, the end of the Dalton Highway, under the midnight sun, with an adventure BMW and full UpSerra support.
From the Pacific to the Arctic: the crossing that separates tourists from explorers. We leave Seattle, climb the legendary Alaska Highway through Canada, cross the Arctic Circle on the Dalton Highway and reach Prudhoe Bay — the end of the road at the top of the continent — before closing in Anchorage, at the foot of Denali. Two mirrored departures, same route in both directions.
Departure I — Northbound: June 19 to July 2 (Seattle → Anchorage), with the midnight sun of the solstice in Prudhoe Bay. Departure II — Southbound: July 6 to 19 (Anchorage → Seattle). 14 days each.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa?
Yes, two tourist visas: US (B1/B2) and Canadian. For the land crossing, the eTA doesn’t count — you need an actual Canadian tourist visa in your passport. UpSerra guides you through both processes.
Is the Dalton Highway very difficult?
About 1,600 km of gravel round trip, generally well maintained, ridden in planned stages with a support vehicle and UpSerra guide — but it can get quite tough in snow or rain. It requires riding experience, not extreme off-road experience.
Which bike will I ride?
An adventure-category BMW, prepared for the route, with rental included in the package.
What’s the weather like?
June and July are Arctic summer: midnight sun, mild temperatures inland and cold in the far north. The briefing includes the full gear list.
