Are you prepared for fall?

Fall in Alaska means hunting season, fishing trips, and those last camping weekends before winter sets in. 🍂🎣🏕️ For many, the side-by-side (UTV) is the ultimate tool for getting there — and back safely.

At Alaska Safe Riders, we’re dedicated to working with communities statewide to reduce injuries and fatalities from all-purpose vehicle use. Our goal: to keep your adventures safe, fun, and family-ready no matter where the trail leads.

That’s why we’ve created the Backcountry Side-by-Side Quick Tips Series — safety reminders built for the way Alaskans really ride in the fall. From hauling game to tackling slick trails, these tips will help you stay prepared and confident on every trip.

Because the best way to ride… is to ride safe. 🚦
