Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve

Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, located north of the Arctic Circle, encompasses a vast 8.5 million acres, larger than the entire country of Belgium. This rugged, mountainous expanse remains one of the most remote and least-visited parks in the United States, with fewer than 10,000 visitors annually. The park’s unspoiled wilderness is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including caribou, grizzly bears, and moose, which roam freely across the expansive terrain. Visitors can experience a true sense of isolation and natural beauty, surrounded by the untouched landscapes and the raw, untamed wilderness of the Arctic.
