VISITOR INFO

ADVICE

Visit in the summer months, when it is not too cold
If you have children, flightseeing may be more advisable due to the park's harsh weather and terrain
There are no designated campsites, so if camping, make sure to camp sustainably to protect the surrounding wildlife. This includes
- - Wearing soft-soled shoes to protect vegetation
  - Stash all trash instead of littering
  - Build fires on gravel bars
  - Cook with gas or propane stoves to prevent wildfires from campfires
