Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve

Covering over eight million acres, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve is a breathtaking landscape of rugged mountains, forests, lakes, and alpine meadows, located north of Fairbanks.

Featuring large portions of the Brooks Range, the park houses intact ecosystems, survived untouched for thousands of years, the park offers a glimpse into life governed by the forces of nature alone.

Be sure to bring your hiking boots to trek on the park's endless miles of hiking trails twisting through the Alatna and Kobuk River Valleys.

Proficient and experienced backpackers, bicyclists, fishermen, and boaters also love the recreational opportunities in this vast park.
