Lonely Planet review for Gates of the Arctic National Park

One of Alaska's remotest national parks and one of the finest wilderness areas in the world, Gates of the Arctic National Park covers 21,122 sq km (13,125 sq miles) from the southern foothills of the Brooks Range, across the ragged peaks and down onto the North Slope. The park gets its name from the peaks of Boreal Mountain and Frigid Crags that flank the north fork of the Koyukuk River.
