Anaktuvuk Pass to the Detrich River

Sally and I did a trip in early August, hiking from Anaktuvuk Pass to the Dalton Highway, in the Brooks Range. It was awesome...we covered about 60 miles in 6 relatively casual days, then hitch hiked down down the Dalton to Fairbanks. Below are some photos:
Below is the village of Anaktuvuk Pass, where we started. It's a subsistence community of about 300 people, mostly Alaska Natives. It's located on the continental divide, about 110 miles north of the arctic circle and is fortunate to have daily air service from Fairbanks.
