Dalton Highway on a Harley: Plans, FAQs, and Advice for riding Alaska's Haul Road
In July 2023 I completed the Iron Butt Ultimate Coast-to-Coast ride from Key West, FL to Deadhorse Prudhoe Bay, AK.
In this video, I explain how I planned for the trip, answer frequently asked questions, and share advice after riding a 20-year-old Harley-Davidson Road King Classic on Alaska's Dalton Highway aka the Haul Road.

    Very cool! When I saw the caption pop up that stated 2003 Road King Classic, I had to pause and back up to make sure I got that right. Besides my GoldWing, I also ride an old carbureted 2002 Electra Glide TC-88 with stage 2 and always wondered how she would do on the Dalton. I don't think I would attempt it on the FLHT, but I would definitely do it on an ADV bike to your point. Kudos to you for a successful trip.

    I am planning on going from Los Angeles to Dead Horse August 2024. (One month from now). I am on a KLR 650 (2007- Gen 1). I've done round trip Route 66 on this bike, Mojave and Nevada BDR, all of PCH Hwy 1 and Hwy 101. How do you book the shuttle to the Ocean? How do you book rooms in Dead Horse and Cold Foot? I will be traveling with a tent as back up. Also traveling with a friend on an Africa Twin.

      You book rooms in deadhorse and coldfoot like you would any other hotel, directly on their websites or via 3rd party 'trip' website. They are essentially the same as large industrial work camps or drilling rig camps appearance wise but they are functionally the same as regular hotels. Book well in advance.

    Great trip and the videos! I wonder if your MPG issues were caused by higher elevation (less air for the motor) and you riding uphill. Looks like the fuel economy went back to normal after you crossed the Rockies and the elevation dropped. Excessive speed, like you said, can also be a factor. All the best from SFL!

    I noticed the USBP patch on your bag, was wondering if you are a former or current agent? I’m retired out San Diego Sector. Like your videos!

      I’m not, but I have a friend who is currently an agent. He started in Sand Diego sector but has since transferred to the northern border.
