Wilderness Alaska - Gates of the Arctic

Because of our 2006 Arctic Refuge focus, we are conducting hiking, floating and base camp trips in the Gates on a custom trip basis only.

We can schedule trips with groups of 2 to 8. Obviously there will be extra financial burdens upon smaller groups and hiking trips are still limited to 5. Contact us directly to confer about trip options. We feel that this will open up possibilities in the Park and enable you to plan your truly once in a lifetime wilderness journey.

Wilderness Alaska began its operation in this region several years before the creation of the Park. Through the seventies and early eighties this was our primary area of exploration, in fact, many of our trips helped gather information for National Park planner staff. Recognizing and satisfying the increased interest in the Arctic Refuge generated by the imenent possibility of a significant change in management, we have reduced our scheduled trips to the central and western areas of the Brooks Range significantly. We feel that is important to help people experience the Refuge immediately in hopes that that experience may fortify the constituency speaking out to save the Refuge from Oil and Gas exploration. However as always, we can design custom trips here for small groups at any time. Please consult with us directly if you have a pressing urge to visit this part of the Range.
