It's a fantastic, and beautiful place. Make sure you're educated and prepared though because it is quite unforgiving. People get seriously injured and even die just in the "backyard" mountains we have. I remember before I moved up here a co-worker telling me her husband came up here for a backcountry trip and they were lucky to be making a mile an hour on the Tundra. It kick their tails, but they still had an awesome trip. Lots and lots of options though, nearly endless if not endless!
