Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you so much for your kind words, glad my videos are able to help you in some way 😇

This in Glacier National Park 😇

@ ah yes ok. My wife and I took a motorcycle trip up from our home in Southern California through Glacier National Park and spent a few nights at Swan Lake in Montana. Once we arrived at Swan lake it rained for 3 days straight only to clear up the day we were taking off for Columbus, Montana for a few nights on the Yellowstone River. Are you still out on the road as we speak?

Sounds like a trip! No I’m back home in NYC. I don’t get to creating these videos until I’m back home. Gives me a second chance to relish the ride.

@ I hear ya there. ✌🏽

This is the Going to the Sun road in Glacier National Park. The tunnel at the very beginning is Lincoln Tunnel in NY city.

@@purely_nomad_ my apologies I didn’t realize I commented again on the same video. To early in the morning where I’m at! 😬✌🏽

Yeah, it was definitely a bit chilly up there!

Download google maps offline before leaving.

@@purely_nomad_ No talking about the maps on at the end of all the videos! I will do this trip the other way Deadhorse to Key West. 2025 ot 26

Fairly decent I would say. Hope the two of you are doing great. Been following your updates on FB and glad to see you are happily back home. Going to miss your fb posts, the only reason I used to check FB for!!

Had my trusty Trailmax Missions here, these are excellent for more on road conditions and last long. My last set did more than 20k miles. Have heard great things from people regarding klim goretex suits, but the cost has kept me away from them. I am also on a lookout for a new suit, but maybe not anytime soon. For KW AK I would say even if you have a goretex shell, you might want to consider keeping a full over gear rain suit as it will help to keep the shell dry in case of very heavy rains. I faced extreme rains during my first 3 days and glad I had my rain suit which prevented even a single drop from getting in.

I was planning on getting the Heidenaus but they weren’t available and it being a national holiday did not find many options so had settled for Anlas capra X adventure tires. They did really well in the dirt, grip was pretty solid however weren’t the best on the roads. Rear lasted only for less than 7k miles but had almost 1k miles off pavement.

Definitely that sounds like a solid plan. Would recommend taking different routes in each direction, there’s the cassiar highway (more remote) and Alaska highway and both are equally beautiful from what I’ve read. Also if possible would highly taking the top of the world highway. It’s dirt but easy dirt with some of the most amazing views riding on top of the mountains. Do check if the border post is opened when you are traveling, I think it opens mid June.

Nice to meet you! I remember Dan, amazing person. Looking forward to hopefully meeting him on the road some day.

Would recommend start soon and be flexible with what you want to include as well as night stays as weather impacted a lot of planning I had done. My exact route is at the very end of the last video of the series, but I started From NYC -> Key West -> Turned Around -> Atlanta -> Kansas City -> Badlands -> Glacier National Park -> Calgary -> Banff & Jasper -> Hyder, AK -> Took the Cassiar highway North (very remote but highly recommended) -> Watson Lake -> Dawson City -> Top of the world Highway (Highly Recommended) -> Fairbanks -> Dalton -> Coldfoot -> Prudhoe Bay

Thank you for all your kind words. I never did a gear list but I was well equipped for if I get stranded by the roadside including tent and supplies that could get me through the night and always carried enough water in a camelbcack. I did a small ride prep thread on advrider if you are interested it's here which covers prepping up the bike and some discussions about the route taken. advrider.com/f/threads/ultimate-coast-to-coast-ride-prep-thread-nyc-key-west-deadhorse.1640173/

I would love to visit again!!

@@purely_nomad_ I'm planing another visit this summer from Aug - 6th Aug - 16th

Lucky you! I don’t think I can handle summers there 😄

Glad to know you liked!!

Thank you

Glad you enjoyed! I’m not very good at camping, still learning. I was carrying a tent for if I couldn’t find a place to stay on this trip and infact I did camp in Glacier National Park but apart from that I was lucky to find accommodation everywhere. Although ones on Dalton were very expensive and if I ever do the road again I would prefer camping more.

Thank you, glad you liked it 😇

Thank you Dan. Like you said, meeting people was one of the best things about riding, really enjoyed riding with you. Looking forward to meeting you on the road some day.

Thank you 😇 Will definitely check out your videos.

Glad you liked it 😀

Thank you 😊

Couldn’t agree more. Thank you 😌

That is correct. Do want to ride the Dempster some day and go camping at the arctic ocean.

Glad you enjoyed it 😇

Thank you so much 😀

Glad you liked it!

My pleasure

😂

Yeah, bet that road is beautiful as well. Tried to get into Airforce lodge, place looked amazing but sadly couldn’t get a room there, highly recommend calling ahead or even a few days in advance. There are quite a few options available in the area.

I drove Dease Lake Pkwy coming from Alaska, and that road is not fun in a truck camper
