There are 8 National Parks in Alaska but only 3 of them are accessible via car (Denali, Kenai Fjords and Wrangell St. Elias). The others listed below are more remote and only reachable via small plane or boat. They require a bit more saving up and planning but this guide should help get you started! 📍Katmai- This park offers such a unique experience of being surrounded by bears and watching them at Brooks falls. The best time to go is end July-September with the salmon run. You can take a water taxi or fly from Anchorage to the small port town of King Salmon with Ravn Air and then King Salmon to Brooks Camp with Katmai Air. HIGHLY recommend either making reservations years in advance at Brooks Lodge or applying for Brooks Camp camping permit on Recreation. gov. We won a camping permit last year and so glad we did, as the bears are most active at the falls late afternoon when the day trippers planes leave. The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes is an other worldly landscape and such an interesting part of Alaskas history and landscape. 📍Lake Clark- Accessible via Lake and Pen Air from Anchorage to Port Alsworth. The water is insanely beautiful and if able I recommend atleast 1 night if not 2 or 3. We stayed 2 nights at the Wilder House and loved it. From there are trailheads for Tanalian Mountain and falls as well as water activities available at Tulchina adventures. 📍Gates of the Arctic- The most draw dropping peaks I’ve witnessed to date. You can opt to do a day trip with Golden Eagle Outfitters from Fairbanks or backpack in, but backpacking will require extensive research and planning as well as great navigational skills as there are no maintained trails here (or cell service) 📍Kobuk Valley- Often combine with Gates of the Arctic flight, it’s most known for the expansive sand dunes . The sand was ground down by glaciers, then carried here by wind and water after the last Ice Age. 📍Glacier Bay- This is your chance to see glaciers and tons of wildlife. Often visited by cruise ship, you can also fly into the small town of Gustavus. There is camping as well as Glacier Bay Lodge. Reel by @mountainkimbo #alaska #nationalpark #parksproject #findyourpark
