HIGH, WILD, AND UNKNOWN
Article Abstract:
An 11-day backpacking trip in Alaska's Tordrillos mountains involved numerous river crossings, bear sightings and inclement weather. This area of Alaska is bypassed by most backpackers because of its close proximity to Anchorage, and thus provides solitude. Related information on river crossings is included.
