Long spring days invite intrepid dog sledders to explore the stunning treeless landscapes of the Itikmalik River of the Brooks Range, far above the Arctic Circle.

 

Explore the tundra and creek valleys surrounding our Arctic camp, situated just outside Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. Play in the shadows of the rugged Brooks Range mountains and search for dropped caribou antlers on our daily forays into and around the Park.  If we are lucky, the sun will shine bright late into the evening, inviting long lunches with warm afternoon naps on the sleds, and fresh outdoor dinners with sunglasses still needed.

 

After sundown, watch the aurora swirl through the late evening twilight, dancing overhead in the giant Arctic sky.

 

These are the most rustic and adventurous of our trips, with 4-10 days of tent camping and millions of acres of tundra to explore by dog team.
