The roar of the 4-wheel drive ATV cuts through the stillness of the Alaskan Boreal Forest, where towering spruce and birch trees lean close, daring you to carve a path through their territory. Traveling speeds reach up to 30 mph as riders navigate a rugged 20-mile loop weaving across boggy tundra, mountain-fed creeks, and ancient glacial moraines.
