All of the buildings in Prudhoe Bay/Deadhorse look the same. There are only two hotels - Arctic Caribou Inn (pictured) and Prudhoe Bay Hotel in the small area. There is one building which contains a general store, post office, movie rental business, and Napa Auto Store under the same roof. The airport exists in Deadhorse as well. These are the only buildings besides the oil industry that exist. |

ANWR HikeUploaded by: Tracy_Alley On: 1151297552 File Size: 58289 Comments: 0 / Views: 1900 Description: This is a great view of the valley where we hiked. We hiked six miles in five hours. It seems slow, but the terrain was not easy at times. Plus, we stopped for a long lunch by the beautiful Atigun River. Then, we hunted for geodes, fossils, and flowers as well as photographed everything. |

We hiked through Atigun Gorge which was absolutely breathtaking. We were near the river at one point so you can see how high we climbed. The total hike was six miles, and the terrain was challenging. | ||||
Mosquito FameUploaded by: Tracy_Alley On: 1151296218 File Size: 28802 Comments: 0 / Views: 1779 Description: This mosquito was determined to get his picture taken. There were one trillion mosquitos on top of Jade Mountain. We hiked and canoed the three and a half hour journey wearing our bug jackets the entire time. It was well worth every minute. The views were stunning. | |||||

Canoe RideUploaded by: Tracy_Alley On: 1151295336 File Size: 56660 Comments: 0 / Views: 1530 Description: We had the best time taking a canoe ride across Toolik Lake. The lake is crystal clear. It is seventy feet deep. We decided to reduce our hiking time by taking the canoe across the lake. It was really fun! |
Beginning of JourneyUploaded by: Tracy_Alley On: 1151295137 File Size: 54216 Comments: 0 / Views: 1581 Description: This is a picture of Jade Mountain. This is not the real Jade Mountain in the western part of Alaska where jade is mined. This is a Toolik name for the mountain near us. It was given that name, because it is a beautiful green color in the summer due to the vegetation. Jade Mountain is the one in the middle. When I started the journey, I was contemplating from this vantage point how I was going to make it to the top. | |||
