Gates of the Arctic National Park is an astonishingly cool place. There's nothing quite like that part of the world.

We bumped the cliff with the boat. The cliff didn't move.
The Canning runs through some narrow stretches in the Sadlerochit where there's not much shoulder. Mostly you steer. Once in a while you bump.
The rock here is folded sedimentary, tipped up on edge, and stuck out into the river like a row of broken teeth. We could've put in another foot of water and been fine. We didn't. The boat had a small scrape and a story. Both wear off eventually.
