Fodor's Expert Review Brooks Range

Kotzebue Mountain

The most northern mountain range in North America stretches some 700 miles west to east across northern Alaska into Canada's Yukon Territory. Considered a subrange of the Rocky Mountains, the Brooks Range is the highest range above the Arctic Circle, with peaks of nearly 9,000 feet. Noatak National Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, and Gates of the Arctic National Park all lie within it. At the range's western end, the Baird Mountains, where Mt. Angayukaqsraq is the highest peak (4,700 feet), are in Kobuk Valley National Park.
