We have enjoyed the Nowitna River?s scenic beauty, geography, diverse plant & abundant wildlife since 1986. After each trip, something always calls us to stay longer, possibly it is the spirit of the wildlife, including those we harvested and whose protein grows our children, possibly it is the remoteness of this place, possibly it is interesting rocks along the riverbank, possibly it is the calls of geese, swans and raven, moose & wolves, possibly it is spirits of woolly mammoths & the saber tooth tigers that once roamed here; or likely it is all of these things and more that makes the drainage one of the most spectacular places on the planet.
