About Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve

This large northern Alaskan park protects part of the Central Brooks Range, with no roads or marked trails. Its valleys hold rivers, glaciers, and mountain passes that have supported people for thousands of years. Visitors travel on foot or by float through an undeveloped landscape where caribou follow old routes and light shifts dramatically between summer and winter.
