I lived in AKP and often snowmobiled the country you hiked across. Hiking that is an impressive feat. Well done.

Your trip brought back a lot of nice memories for me! I guided in that country for 4 years in the mid-80s. We had a semi-permanent camp between the gates on the mount Boreal side. I wonder if there's any Trace left? My wife of 35 years and I fell in love on a trip from Summit Lake down to the gates and on to bettles. You didn't mention any Wildlife encounters. When I was up there Grizzlies, black bears, wolves and moose were abundant. Did you go see any wildlife?

Hmm, I don't think I saw any bears on that particular trip, but I might just not remember. I am pretty sure we saw some moose.

Me and 5 others are going to do the exact route you all did. Looks amazing. How long did it take you to get to Bettles once you started hiking from Anaktuvuk?

It took us three days on foot and four days paddling. Six nights in the backcountry.
