Description
The floatplane disappears, leaving you on the lakeshore. For the next two weeks you must survive using the knowledge, skills and gear you bring with you. Traveling through this vast wilderness you will discover craggy ridges, glacier carved valleys and fragile flowers. You will walk or float through intact ecosystems where people have lived with the land for thousands of years.
Hours:
The Park and Preserve are open year round. It is best to call each office prior to arrival to confirm current operational hours.

Basic Directions
From Fairbanks
Proceed by air to one of the park's jumpoff communities. Some popular entry points are Bettles, Coldfoot, Anaktuvuk Pass or Kotzebue; or by vehicle along the Dalton Highway Corridor. Commercial air service is available from Fairbanks to Bettles, Anaktuvuk Pass and Kotzebue. You need to travel by air because there are no roads to these communities.
From Bettles, Coldfoot, and Kotzebue
Arrange with an air taxi service to fly into the Park and Preserve. Your destination in the park and preserve determines which community to leave from.
From the Anaktuvuk Pass airfield
One can hike into the park and preserve. Anaktuvuk Pass and the surrounding land is private property. Hikers should be certain they are in the park and preserve before camping.
From the Dalton Highway
You can drive to Coldfoot and fly into the Park and Preserve via air charter. Those seeking a rugged wilderness journey on a limited budget can begin hiking directly off the highway.
