The Brooks Range is located in northern Alaska, serving as the northernmost extension of the Rocky Mountains.1
The range spans approximately 600 miles (1,000 km) in an east-west direction, stretching from the U.S. border with Canada’s Yukon territory to the Chukchi Sea. Situated entirely within the Arctic Circle, it acts as a significant watershed between the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Yukon River drainage to the south.12
