The engine coughs, then settles into a steady rumble as you strap on a helmet and slide into a side-by-side. Cool interior air presses against your face; outside, the trail opens into boreal forest, tussock tundra, and low ridgelines that frame a pale northern sky. By mile ten the trees thin and the landscape spreads into wide views — wind and light become part of the drive, daring you forward.

The engine coughs, then settles into a steady rumble as you strap on a helmet and slide into a side-by-side.

By mile ten the trees thin and the landscape spreads into wide views — wind and light become part of the drive, daring you forward.
This route follows Interior Alaska’s geology of glacially scoured hills and river-cut valleys on land long used by Athabascan people and later shaped by gold-era trails. Guides who live year-round here explain place names, seasonal hunting and trapping traditions, and how permafrost and wildfire cycles have rearranged the terrain over decades.
Expect 34 miles of mixed single-track and gravel two-track with rolling altitude changes rather than sustained climbs. Vehicles are modern side-by-sides with power steering, automatic transmissions and engine braking for controlled descents; helmets, goggles, gloves, bottled water and snacks are included. Guides emphasize safety, spacing, and wildlife-aware viewing—moose or red fox sightings are possible in quiet sections.
Practical notes: tours run at 9:00 AM and 6:30 PM and last about five hours from pickup to drop-off. Dress in breathable layers, bring ankle-supportive shoes, sunglasses and a fully charged camera or phone. If you have spinal, heart or pregnancy concerns, this is not recommended. Weather can shift quickly — plan a warm midlayer and waterproof shell. Arrive ready to drive a short distance, listen to briefing cues, and leave the trails as you found them to keep this stretch of Alaska wild for the next visitor.
