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.

This lucky boot spent the last three days about 100 yards from our boat and apparently had been visited by a salivating carnivore. No recognizable sign (paw prints, droppings, etc.) was found near the boot so we surmised that either a stealthy bear had taken a bite or perhaps a wolverine had taste tested the rubber. Regardless of whose canines had punched a hole in the boot, we were happy that our food and the rubber (actually hypalon) raft were accounted for and intact!
