The Brooks Range is the most remote and undeveloped mountain range in Alaska and an ideal location for long term backpacking and river expeditions. The mountains provide superb backpacking amongst showy wildflower blooms, large mammals such as grizzlies and Dall sheep and unique geological features including large areas of limestone unlike most of Alaska's shale-dominated mountain ranges.
The mosquitoes are notoriously bad in northern Alaska at certain times of the year so accurate and detailed advice with respect to expedition timing is critical. In addition, there are no facilities, signs or trails in the Brooks Range so local knowledge of exactly where to plan your expedition is key.
