Seems like a trip idea that was being kicked around is gaining some steam. A group of us (4-7 people right now) are looking into a trip to the Gates of the Arctic NP in Alaska next September.
We are in information-gathering stage, and since this park is about three times the size of Connecticut, there are lots of possibilities. Access is only through bush planes, so I'm sure much of the park is tough to get to.
Currently, it looks like we have narrowed down a few spots to at least start looking and to get bush plane pricing. They are:
-Circle Lake
-Summit Lake
-Headwater of the Alatna River
There are many variations of trips around these areas, and some can be coupled with a few days of float trips as well.
Anybody have any info on the area...good links...stories...etc.? I've been exhausting as many Internet links that I can find, but would love some information from a more trusted source if any of you fine folks have some first or second hand knowledge.
Much appreciated!
