The Gates of the Artic is the second largest National Park by area and is also the least visited with only 10,047 visitors in 2016. This epic wilderness is located entirely within the Arctic Circle and covers an area larger than Belgium.
The Brooks Mountain Range occupies most of the park and there are no roads within its boundaries.
Notable features within this remote but beautiful park include the Endicott Mountains, the Kobuk River and even portions of the Boreal Forest.
For the intrepid explorer, this park is a true playground and the opportunities for hiking and camping are endless – due to its remote location and the lack of public services and roads, this park remains a mystery to most people but is still a fascinating landscape.
