Backpacking in Alaska Perhaps the greatest remaining terrestrial wilderness on Earth, the Arctic Refuge is a pulsating, living wilderness of caribou, moose, Dall sheep, and grizzly. It is vast tundra plains, rugged peaks, and gorgeous mountain valleys with wild rivers and scraggly forests of spruce and poplar. We'll explore a chunk of the Brooks Range, the most remote mountains in North America. Be prepared for any kind of weather and all kinds of adventure! The price includes two air flights (Fairbanks to Arctic Village and Arctic Village to a remote wilderness air strip). This may be the most pristine wilderness on Earth! Yet the Bush administration proposes massive industrial development for its northern coastal plain (many miles from our route). This will be our second ANWR adventure - don't miss it! The trip base is Fairbanks (details to be announced) and the rating is fairly strenuous.
