Brooks Range River
Rafting
Tour 193
 The
southern slopes of the
Brooks Range offer good
rafting potential, with
relatively easy
logistics, fine rivers
and beautiful scenery.
Using Fairbanks as the
gateway for your
expeditions, we arrange
a schedule or charter
flight to Bettles. Here
you can be outfitted
with rafts, canoes and
depending on what
additional equipment you
need, everything from
gas stove to bear proof
food containers can be
provided. Once your
expedition is equipped,
a bush plane takes you
and the equipment to the
starting point of the
float. The price of each
of these tours will vary
with the group size, so
rates are available on
request.
