Rocky Spine

So here is the idea.  Don’t need to ride across the country again.  Thought about riding across a different country, and selected Canada.  Started to realize that Saskatchewan was probably no more fun to ride across than the Dakotas and eastern Montana.  Heard a song called the Rocky Spine by the Great Lakes Swimmers. (Link to You Tube Video of Rocky Spine.)  I think that song is about the Canadian Rockies. I have never been there before.  Look at the map, looks like a rocky spine (sort of).

Well…what is at the end of the spine?  Well, Alaska is!  Let’s bike there!
