About Brooks Range
The Brooks Range is a rugged mountain range in northern Alaska, spanning nearly 700 miles across the state. This vast wilderness features dramatic glaciated peaks, deep valleys, pristine tundra, and countless rivers and lakes. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with treeless, rocky landscapes at higher elevations giving way to boreal forests and wetlands at lower elevations. The climate is Arctic, with short, cool summers and long, bitterly cold winters. Wildlife such as caribou, Dall sheep, grizzly bears, and numerous bird species thrive in the remote, untamed environment of the Brooks Range.
