In the Alaskan wilderness north of the arctic circle, paralleling sections of the Haul Road (the Dalton Highway), in the foothills of the Brooks Range, can be found the Jim River. It’s north of the Arctic Circle, so there are different types of vegetation than in most other rivers we run. Not an exceptionally challenging river, this one is unique primarily due to its location (north of the Arctic Circle). It’s a good place for viewing moose, caribou, eagles, bears, and salmon.
