Kobuk Valley National Park in Alaska is one of the more remote national parks in Alaska. There is no road access to the national park, so you will need to arrange a bush plane flight into the park or an air taxi into one of the villages. The park has been the site of caribou migration for thousands of years, and has a rich cultural heritage of caribou hunting.
The Sand Dunes in Kobuk Valley reach up to 100 feet high. They are are the largest sand dunes in the arctic. There are three different areas of sand dunes within the park.
Kobuk Valley National Park is a wild park, and you will have to organize your own adventure. Fishing, hiking, and snowmobiling are popular activities, as is watching the caribou migration. You can float along the Kobuk River, which makes logistics easy. The park recommends hiking in the Baird Mountains, as the walking on the mountains will be easier than hiking through tussocky tundra.
