U.S. Bicycle Route 97 (USBR 97) is the westernmost U.S. Numbered Bicycle Route which runs between Fairbanks and Seward in the State of Alaska.[1][2][3] The route lies entirely within Alaska, and it passes through Anchorage. Much of the route follows the Parks Highway, and it passes the entrance of Denali National Park.[3] It was approved by AASHTO in early May 2011, making it one of the first expansions of the U.S. Bike Route system since 1982.[2][3][4] It has connections to U.S. Bicycle Route 8 in Fairbanks and U.S. Bicycle Route 108 in Anchorage.[2]
