Gates of the Arctic and Kobuk Valley are in a remote part of Northern Alaska and see less than 10,000 visitors a year. The parks have no infrastructure and are difficult to visit without hiring an plane and traversing the remote wilderness. We did a day trip from Kotzebue and spent over 5 hours flying across the Alaska wilderness to step foot in both parks. Here is the entire adventure and lets us know what you think in the comments.
