Alaska Biking
...
Biking in Alaska offers challenges both on and off the road. By using
the existing road system as well as the Alaska State Ferry unique
itineraries can be planned by the independent traveler. Many trails
and less developed roads also provide opportunities for day trips
and touring.
Bicycles are also a great way to tour the cities and towns of Alaska.
Several shops in Anchorage, Juneau and Fairbanks now offer bike
rental services. Unpaved roads such as the Denali Highway, Taylor
Highway and McCarthy Road offer excellent bicycle touring opportunities
where camping is widely available. Other road systems around Chitna,
Cordova and north of Fairbanks also offer less traveled bike touring
routes.
