CLASS III-IV     36 miles
  The nature scenery of Alaska and the water flowing gracefully down Atigun/Sagavanirktok beats anything. The Dalton Highway Bridge to Slope Mt. Road Camp stretch of Atigun/Sagavanirktok in Alaska is 36 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class III-IV section. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. The rivers for whitewater rafting and kayaking in this state are often tougher than in other states, so don't forget
    that rivers here are less forgiving. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. The Dalton Highway Bridge to Slope Mt. Road Camp section is the only paddling section along Atigun/Sagavanirktok. The beautiful Brooks Range scenery is an added bonus. Getting some good exercise and
just hanging out with mother nature have people coming from far and near. Now this is a pretty long section, so it looks like you will be camping out.
