One of our biggest challenges is finding a way to share the Kobuk Valley experience with those who do not have the opportunity to visit the park in person. We have created a Flickr website as a way to extend the virtual park boundary to encompass all those who love and support our national parks, wherever you may be. Any visitor who would like to volunteer a sample of a trip to Kobuk Valley National Park is encouraged to join the park group on Flickr to post photos, video clips and journal entries to share with others.

Did You Know?
Even though Kobuk Valley National Park gets only 50 cm of rain and snow each year, much of the lowland tundra is soggy. Permafrost, many feet below the surface of the soil, prevents the water from draining away.
