You’ll be surprised by what you can find at Kobuk Valley National Park

Explore remote Alaska.

Where can you see sand dunes, streams, and mountains all in one place? Did you guess Alaska? If not, it’s high time you discover the beauty of Kobuk Valley National Park.

Located in the remote Alaskan wilderness, this park is only accessible via aircraft, watercraft, and snowmobile. With no roads, campgrounds, or trails, Kobuk Valley is most suited for backcountry adventurers who know how to handle rugged conditions. As the park explains, “For visitors with the right skills and gear, it’s a trip of a lifetime.”

Tourists who aren’t ready to battle the elements can still enjoy Kobuk Valley, though. Local charter companies offer flightseeing tours over the park that give guests an aerial view of the region. Get a sneak peek at the sights you can see there in this stunning photo guide.
