The Trips

Arctic Treks' 2008 Trip Schedule includes a diverse selection of enticing trips across the length and breadth of Alaska's Arctic. All of our trips are within one or more of the Brooks Range's unparalled continuum of national parks and refuges: the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, Gates of the Arctic National Park, Noatak National Preserve, Kobuk Valley National Park, Cape Krusenstern National Monument, and Bering Land Bridge National Preserve, or in the vast wilderness of the Western Arctic.

Each of our trips begins and ends in Fairbanks. From there, the specific trip area is accessed by air, traveling first by scheduled “mail planes” to the closest village, then flying in a smaller “air taxi” into the wilderness itself, using “tundra tires” to land on river gravel bars or tundra, or “floats” to land on rivers or mountain lakes. This journey into and out of each trip area is itself an exciting adventure, with opportunites for incredible flightseeing and intriguing glimpses of Native Eskimo and Athabaskan village life.
