Visit the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes

Arctic Sand Dunes The Great Kobuk Sand Dunes are unlike any dune complex in North America. Where else can one discover tracks from grizzly bears, caribou, and wolves converging on such otherworldly terrain? A place where Boreal Forest, tundra, and brush collide with glacially pulverized sand. Most people fly to the Great Kobuk Sand Dunes so make sure when planning your itinerary there is some cushion for weather. One never knows what the weather will be like in northwest Alaska so be ready for flight delays. When packing for the trip don't forget your sunscreen and rain jacket as you may use both in a single day. Bugs abound in the summer so bring a head net. It can be windy out on the dunes as you are extremely exposed. Don't forget to bring layers.
