Arctic sand dunes and caribou migration corridor in northwestern Alaska

Kobuk Valley National Park

Kobuk Valley National Park is a vast protected area in northwestern Alaska, situated about 25 miles north of the Arctic Circle within the Northwest Arctic Borough. The park encompasses a broad wetlands valley formed by the Kobuk River as it flows along the southern edge of the Baird Mountains, part of the western Brooks Range. What makes this park truly distinctive is the presence of the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes, the largest active Arctic dune field in North America, which are remnants of much larger dune systems that covered hundreds of thousands of acres following the retreat of Pleistocene glaciation. The park also protects critical migration routes for the Western Arctic caribou herd, one of the largest caribou herds in North America, whose annual crossing of the Kobuk River has supported Inupiat subsistence hunting for thousands of years. At nearly 1.75 million acres, the park is slightly larger than the state of Delaware and ranks among Alaska's eight national parks.
