About this tour

This tour takes you up to Thompson Pass in one of our Toyota Sequoia's, where your group and guide will ride along the Richardson Highway down Thompson Pass, through Keystone Canyon, and along the Lowe River Valley. Taking in the views and stopping to take photos or rest along the way.

The full tour is 25 miles (40 km), 99% downhill with an average grade of 4%, with a 300ft section of 3% uphill. The riding portion of the tour usually takes 3-3.5 hours, with a half our transit to the pass and 15–20-minute safety briefing and bike adjustments.

Riding down Thompson Pass we usually average just over 20 miles per hour, and stop at a couple pull offs for views and brake checks. For those intimidated with riding down the continuous 6.5% grade of Thompson Pass, we may begin at the 19-mile Welcome to Valdez sign. Bring the tour length to around 18 miles. If this is the case, we will discount the tour by 10% at time of booking.
