I talked to folks at the Alaska Ferry System when I was at the International Motorcycle Show in Seattle last month. Since then I've been thinking a lot about doing a trip up to Alaska this coming summer. They said that you can take a ferry from Bellingham up to different areas in Alaska with your motorcycle. You could then ride back. Or vice versa. Has anyone done this? It sounds like it could be a great trip and the sights could be beautiful. BTW, I would most likely do the ride back 2-up on my 2014 Concours. And both of us aren't afraid of a little cold (we took a trip up to Victoria this last weekend with temperatures getting down to mid 30's along the way). And we'd definitely do this in the summer.
I'm assuming it would be about a week's ride from Seattle to somewhere like Whittier, Alaska. Then a few days up there to ride around and a 3-4 day ferry trip back, so I'd need to allocate at least 2 weeks for something like this. I'm super excited about this, but I want to make sure I get as much information as I can from folks who have done it before so I'm prepared.
