The Arctic
The
Alaska & Yukon Arctic
One of North America's Last great wilderness areas, the Arctic plain stretches for hundreds of miles across the top of Alaska and Yukon. This area is true wilderness in every sense of the word. Roadless, treeless, remote, very sparsely populated and somewhat difficult to get to, but not impossible.
Geography: The southern foothills of the Brooks Range make up the southern boundary of the arctic region in Alaska. To the West is the Chukchi Sea and the Arctic Ocean to the North. Several rivers meander through the region including the Kobuk and Noatak, both historically have been an important highway for the native population. Closer to the Yukon is the Colville River and other north flowing waterways that allow access to the regions interior.
There are countless recreational opportunities in this vast area. The best place to start a search for the information you want, including a specific park (e.g., Gates of the Arctic, National Wildlife Refuge), how to get there, camping, hiking, fishing and more is to visit the the Public Lands Information Center or the Fairbanks Visitor Center. Ask them specifically about summer and winter activities in the Arctic.
