Kobuk National Park, Alaska

Kobuk Valley National Park offers a chance to explore scenic but rugged wilderness including tundra. Families who are up for the challenge of exploring the untamed, often extreme conditions of Kobuk Valley National Park will find an array of thrilling activities, such as float trips along the Kobuk River, dog-sledding, wildlife viewing, fishing for salmon and scenic flights with local outfitters. The Kobuk Valley National Park is among the least visited of all the national parks because of its limited access and services. However, the sheer beauty is worth the trek for families with older kids and a yearning for adventure.
