You need to take a plane into the gates of the arctic national park! But once you do, you can see caribou, bears and beautiful private native land, lakes, ponds, rivers, streams and lots of solitude! Some pictures from the flight we took into the park and also from the lake we spent the day at. Enjoy!
One of the greatest experiences of my life and one of the last frontiers where you can go for weeks without seeing other people
I was there once and it is out of this world!
Wao no word to say outstanding charms got lost into it
It is a very pretty place,im going there today but rn im heading to the airport lol but i think people should go there because it has a lot of pretty animals,and the view is just ughhh amazing
Wonderful park!!
There are almost no words to describe the majesty of this place. The lack of trees make the geology and plant life pop out of the scenery and allow for unobstructed views all around. Even if just driving the haul road north, its easy to see the abundant natural beauty present here.
Its huge, its hard to get too, and nothing else compares. A trip here is not for the faint of heart, but is the experience of a lifetime for the adventurous.
Why can’t the whole world be like this again someday.
I thought Heaven was on EarthI love it!!!! the trails were exquisitely amazing!!!!A gotoA must
Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve lies to the west of the Dalton Highway, centered on the Brooks Range and covering the north and south slopes of the mountains. The park includes the Endicott Mountains and part of the Schwatka Mountains. The majority of Gates of the Arctic is designated as national park, in which only subsistence hunting by local rural residents is permitted. Sport hunting is only permitted in the national preserve. To hunt and trap in the preserve, a person must have all required licenses and permits and follow all other state regulations.The eastern boundary of the park generally follows the Dalton Highway at a distance of a few miles, with the westernmost part of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 10 miles (16 km) farther east. Kanuti National Wildlife Refuge is near the parks southeast boundary. Noatak National Preserve adjoins the western boundary, and the National Petroleum Reserve–Alaska adjoins the northwest corner of the park. Almost all of the park is designated as wilderness, with the exception of areas around Anaktuvuk Pass. A detached portion of the park surrounds the outlying Fortress Mountain and Castle Mountain to the north of the park.Ten small communities outside the parks boundaries are classified as resident zone communities and depend on park resources for food and livelihood. They are Alatna, Allakaket, Ambler, Anaktuvuk Pass, Bettles/Evansville, Hughes, Kobuk, Nuiqsut, Shungnak, and Wiseman. There are no established roads, trails, visitor facilities, or campgrounds in the park. The Dalton Highway(Alaska State Highway 11) comes within five miles (8 km) of the parks eastern boundary, but requires a river crossing to reach the park from the road. The Arctic Interagency Visitor Center in nearby Coldfoot is open from late May to early September, providing information on the parks, preserves and refuges of the Brooks Range, Yukon Valley and the North Slope. About 259,000 acres (105,000 ha) of the park and preserve are owned by native corporations or the State of Alaska. 7,263,000 acres (2,939,000 ha) are protected in the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness.
