Kongakut River Odyssey 2006 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432711542)

Pristine River Journey!!!

Join the author as he descends one of the most remote and pristine rivers in North America. Canoeing from the mountain headwaters past thousands of migrating caribou, vast ice fields, herds of Dall Sheep, and the Valley of the Wolves, the suspense builds with every passing mile. The reader will be drawn ever deeper into the Alaskan wilderness as the river descends out of the high mountains and onto the rich coastal plain, where encounters are shared with moose and muskoxen, as the river pushes ever closer to the still frozen waters of the Arctic Ocean where a final camp is made at Icy Reef in the Beaufort Sea. Enriched by high quality digital photography, each page represents new discoveries as the author experiences crystal clear waters, exhilarating rapids, and magnificent expanses of ice. Dream in fields of brilliant wildflowers and imagine the hunt as a grizzly stalks caribou. Let the imagination run wild with the vastness of the tundra and the jagged beauty of the snow-covered peaks of the Brooks Range that form the northernmost tip of the Rocky Mountains. Join the author on a Journey of Discovery into the Land of the Midnight Sun!!!
