Publisher's Synopsis
The silent, frozen northern kingdom at the top of the world; the Ultima Thule. The forested flatlands give way to the frozen Rocky Mountains over millions of acres nominally in the dominion of both the United States and Canada and accessible by its 1532 mile shared umbilical cord - The ALCAN Highway. Legendary vagabond Jim Christy travels this road throughout his life, first as a young man hungry for rugged adventure in the early 1960s, and revisiting the journey every few years, observing and reflecting on the growth of the Northwest in the Rough Road to the North.
