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
ATTRACTIONS
ARRIGETCH PEAKS
The Arrigetch Peaks Mountaineering Route is 27.7 miles long and considered very challenging. There are no constructed trails, so be cautious and take your time while hiking here.
BROOKS RANGE
Similarly, the Brooks Range has no man-made hiking trails, but many people hike or camp here for scenic views of the 700-mile wide range.
SUGGESTIONS
1 DAY VISIT
For a day-long visit, a flightseeing tour is most feasible for capturing the park's vast landscapes in short time period.

In 2-3 days, you can go both flightseeing and extensive hiking/camping. Consider hiking through Anaktuvuk Pass and the Alatna River.
The park has air taxis to assist hikers.
1+ WEEK VISIT
Consider hiking and/or camping through the expansive Arrigetch Peaks and Brooks Mountain Ranges. You may encounter the various wildlife listed in the Flora & Fauna page, as well as many other plants and animals.Â
