TRAVERSE 78
When you’ ve cleaned your chain and kicked off the boots, the next stop is the Wolf’ s Den, a cozy restaurant and bar built right on-site. It’ s more than a diner. Riders gather here in the evenings for hearty plates of local food: big steaks, fresh sandwiches, and soups that taste like someone’ s grandma made them. The bar serves cold beer and soul warming whisky, with a small off-sales selection so you can stock your panniers for the road ahead. Outside, a fire pit crackles most nights as riders linger, swapping tales of the Cassiar Highway, of gravel washes on the Dempster, and of long, wind-blasted days through the Yukon interior.
You start to realise that this isn’ t just a stopover, it’ s a node in the web of northern riding. It’ s where riders regroup, resupply, recalibrate. Some stay a night, others stay three. Rest days disappear in a blur of laundry loads, mechanical tinkering, shared meals, and early mornings that roll into late-night fires. You’ ll meet ADV riders from
a well equipped workshop allows motorcycle travellers to maintain bikes before or after a Yukon ride
