About American Range

The American Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in the far northern reaches of Alaska. Stretching across the Arctic Circle, this range is characterized by jagged peaks, expansive glaciers, and a harsh subarctic climate. The terrain is challenging, with steep, rocky slopes and deep valleys carved by ancient glacial flows. The range is home to a variety of wildlife, including caribou, grizzly bears, and Dall sheep, which thrive in the tundra and alpine environments.
