Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve is an American national park that protects portions of the Brooks Range in Northern Alaska. The park is the northernmost National Park in the United States, situated entirely north of the Arctic Circle. The park is the second largest in the US, slightly larger in area than Belgium. Gates of the Arctic was initially designated as a national monument on December 1, 1978, before being redesignated as a national park and preserve upon passage of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act in 1980. A large part of the park has additional protection as the Gates of the Arctic Wilderness that adjoins the Noatak Wilderness. They form the largest contiguous wilderness in North America.

The diverse fauna includes iconic predators like brown and black bears, timber wolves, and lynxes, alongside resilient species like muskoxen, Dall sheep, and wolverines. Twice a year, over half a million caribou migrate through the central Brooks Range, serving as a vital food source for local Indigenous communities. This rugged landscape marks the northernmost limit for Dall sheep and supports a stable population of roughly 132 brown bears.

In this vast, Arctic expanse, the ancient rhythms of migration and survival weave a silent, enduring bond between the land and the life it sustains.
