Seattle to Alaska / MotoGeo Routes
Follow our epic adventure route from Seattle, Washington through Canada to Anchorage, Alaska, stopping to see a few bears on the way!
This is the route we took on our epic journey on a Honda Africa Twin from Seattle, Washington to Anchorage, Alaska.
We had 6 days and travelled almost 2,500 miles, seeing bears, glaciers, having punctures and eating burgers. It was a long way but what an incredible journey.

The journey to Alaska starts at Touratech‘s offices in Seattle, Washington where we picked up a kitted out Honda Africa Twin ready for our journey.
The road out of Seattle and into Canada is a pretty dull one, but as soon as you get out of Vancouver the roads start opening up and around you are beautiful views across the sea to the mountains on the opposite sides, then you know this is going to be an incredible journey.
The stunning scenery of this adventure is everywhere and the roads are quiet so peace and tranquility can be enjoyed on the ride.
The diversion to see the Salmon Glacier was well worth the effort. The bear watching on this route is an incredible sight, we were lucky enough to see the bears catching salmon in the morning, so great to be this close to nature.
The main thing to be aware of it the lack of gas stations. Take a spare tank with you and you should be fine to get you to the next stop, but fill up when you can and don’t chance it.
Also take with you a set of tools and a few spares to help repair the bike by the roadside if you need to. At least enough to get you to the next town. People will stop and help, but you don’t want to have to rely on that so get to know your bike before you leave and learn a few basic maintenance tricks to keep you from getting into difficulty.
We here’s some of the kit we used to repair that puncture on the route, very glad we took it with us.
