| 2 KLR Guys that we kept running into along the way |
 |
| Leaving Deadhorse camp.. Expensive, but the only place to stay in town |
 |
| Famous sign that everyone takes their picture with |
 |
| On our way back. Temperature was in the high 30's |
 |
| The only Caribou we saw on the entire trip so far. |
 |
| Open tundra and it begins to warm up. |
 |
| Typical road and pipeline views across the open tundra |
 |
| Coming back into the valley on the south slope of the Brooks range |
 |
| The pipeline and the road split the valley. (ANWR to the left and Gates of the Arctic NP on the right). |
 |
| North side of Atigun pass |
 |
| Hard to leave with views like these |
 |
| Limited Edition BMW R1200GSA Quadruple Black. One of a kind actually. |
 |
| The rivers and side valleys left one wanting to explore |
 |
| This picture cannot even begin to show the sense of scale one experiences up here. |
 |
| Young ADVRider in the making |
 |
| Heading up the north side of Atigun Pass |
 |
| One last look before we head up |
 |
| Looking north east at the summit |
 |
| Coming back down the south side. |
 |
| Yes, that is ice back there on the tundra. It was nearly 90 degrees!! |
 |
| Coming down.. slowly to savor every turn and vista |
 |
| Give me a pack and some more vacation. This is the place to go, |
 |
| The southern valley revealed incredible rock gardens |
 |
| Yukon Johann |
 |
| No words can describe. |
 |
| This picture says it all... It is in adequate in capturing the experience and emotion. |
 |
| Pipeline. Hate or love it. It is the reason this road exists. |
 |
| A rest stop to go examine the pipeline |
 |
| The literal view from the road |
 |
| Pipeline |
 |
| The incredible rock formations were everywhere. |
 |
| Another moment of wonderlust. |
 |
| Arrival in Coldfoot |
 |
| Checking the temperature just before turning in that night. 89 degrees!! Earlier I had seen 94 degree temperatures. Unbelievable to us this far north of the arctic circle. |
Until next time...
