Today we will look at some of the "Things To Do" in Gates of the Arctic

---

The primary "Thing To Do" in Gates of the Arctic is be alone and find yourself, away from the norms of everyday life. You also must trust yourself and your abilities.

No matter how long one visits or how they spend their time, NPS stresses the fact that you're on your own. This is the number one message visitors must know and apply to their visit to Gates of the Arctic.

There is no cell phone service and there are no amenities other infrastructure. Visitors may not see another person until they return to civilization or their pilot comes back. Visitors must be entirely self-reliant and able to execute self-extraction and communication, should an emergency situation arise.

Backpacking and Hiking

Traveling through the park on foot affords opportunities of exploration and discovery. Mountain ridges and passes reveal splendid vistas and can take visitors to the most remote and least traveled areas of the Park and Preserve.

Experienced hikers in the Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve consider six miles a good day's travel. Since there are no established trails, visitors find it easiest to walk above the tree line or in the streambeds, if the water level is low.

Topographic maps and a reliable compass are essential.

Camping

There are no designated campsites in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve.

Camping in the arctic requires planning, preparation and care in order to protect the visitor and the fragile arctic ecosystem. Arctic tundra is surprisingly fragile and slow to recover. It is best to camp on durable surfaces.

Before you leave, make every effort to return your campsite to a natural appearance. Leave no trace.

Fishing

Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve provides unique fishing opportunities unlike anywhere else in Alaska.

While there are areas and seasonal times of abundance, because of the general low productivity of arctic waters, the park encourages catch-and-release fishing or ask visitors to keep only what can be immediately consumed.
