Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

The 19 million acre Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, in the far northeast corner of Alaska, remains much as it has for thousands of years. Its austere beauty is driven by untamed forces of nature that continue to this day. These lands, as well as the plants and animals that live here, evolved knowing only the light step of occasional nomadic hunters. This vast and remote wilderness is a place of great power, but it is exceptionally fragile and our hunting, hiking and camping impacts will be minimal.

We operate on strict “Leave No Trace” principles and all clientele will be expected to adhere to these practices. An extensive orientation on what’s expected will be conducted upon arrival to the refuge.

“The first step” so to say, is to educate yourself concerning the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge long before your trip begins. Below are some helpful links directing you to the appropriate information:

Wood-Tikchik State Park

At nearly 1.6 million acres Wood-Tikchik State Park is the largest and most remote state park in the nation. The park was created in 1978 for the purpose of protecting the area’s fish and wildlife breeding, support systems, and to preserve the continued use of the area for subsistence and recreational activities including hunting. The management philosophy is one of non-development, intended to help preserve the wilderness character of the park for future generations.
