I step from the truck among 20 other cars, and an arctic wind knifes me within seconds. Weather always funnels like tides through this bottleneck, one of few gaps in the Alaska Range. My brow hurts with an ice-cream headache, and my hands are numb. I forgot my down jacket and borrow a flowery fleece from a friend who drove an hour from Fairbanks with her family in their vehicle.

A river guide’s thoughts on the occasion of Earth Day.
A lovely camp awaits me on an elevated gravel bar lush with fireweed and the bustle of shuttling bees briefly docking at blossoms. It’s riverfront property, with the Noatak River ten yards away. I can rest assured that it will still be there when I wake up after tonight, that it is not just a mirage.

More than a decade after my Arctic traverse from Canada’s Yukon border to Kotzebue Sound on the Bering Strait, that 1,000-mile summer remains the most formative outdoor season of my life. I learned that extended solitude does not break me and that fear will not keep me from doing the things that matter to me. I am glad not to have missed the window my aging body is closing. Had I never done anything else, these weeks of silence and distance alone would have made it all worthwhile.

What can you learn from a 1,000-mile solo trek through the Alaskan wilderness?
Excerpted from Arctic Traverse: A Thousand-Mile Summer of Trekking the Brooks Range. Day 35 (8 miles)Map Quad: Chandler LakeClouds creeping up the valley obscure the pass and I’m glad I have my Magellan GPS, even though it is on its last leg. I crest a ridge, not the pass proper, and therefore descend to it.
