The Brooks Range is a vast area of mountains that stretches from near Kotzebue in the west and the Canadian Border in the east. The Brooks Range mountains rise to about 9000 ft but mostly are in the five thousand foot range. The range is above the arctic circle and for the most part above treeline in altitude and beyond the range of trees in North America. The austere rocky scenery lights up in the long sunrises and sunsets of spring and fall. The summers bring lush greens and sparkling water, while the twilight of winter brings out the unearthly violets and blues reflected from the sky. |
