Thanks for the great info. Why strongly recommend the Haines-Skagway loop?

By the way, I am an experienced biker (trans-am, 6 months in Europe, etc.) however not in such a remote place and I am older now than then. And especially not where I would have to plan ahead so much, in the past - even long trips - I took the route sort of day by day. I guess I would be reluctant to be caught without food because of poor (or no) planning.

I think the idea of ferries and biking would make a great trip. Let me look in (way more) detail at your suggested routes.

Thanks Again!
