August 2006 Noatak River Float Trip

This slideshow features many of the highlights from the Herriott brother's 19 day float trip on the Noatak River in Northwest Alaska. Much of the 435 river miles of the Noatak lie in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Noatak National Preserve. The Noatak River basin is the "largest undisturbed watershed in North America." This Wild and Scenic River is also designated as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.

The morning of Day 15 (August 26) was clear and all proved to be quite well at the meat cache. A cool (high 30s) and windy night had worked wonders on the meat. A beautiful protective crust had developed and once in game bags our meat was ready for transport.
