About Gates of the Arctic

Gates of the Arctic is the northernmost national park in the United States and one of the most remote. The park consists entirely of wilderness area with no roads or trails. The landscape features glacier-carved valleys, rugged mountains, and vast tundra supporting caribou, grizzly bears, and wolves.
