Andrew Skurka - Long distance, ultimate hiker "Circling the Yukon"

Friday, March 30, 2012 - 7:00pm until 8:30pm
See map below for directions.

For six months, Andrew Skurka skied, hiked, and packrafted 4,700 miles, in a giant loop around Alaska and Canada's Yukon. His route passed just beneath Mt. McKinley, descended famed rivers like the Copper and Yukon, and traversed the entire Brooks Range. During the most remote and committing stretch of the trip, across the Yukon Arctic and Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, he went 657 miles and 24 days without crossing a road or seeing another person - an immersion in Big Wilderness that he found profoundly humbling.
