Visit the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center
Information, Education, and National Park Rangers
The main point of contact for over 9 million acres of the Western Arctic National Parklands, the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center is what you may be looking for when in search of where to go, what to see, and what's so special about three national park units - Cape Krusenstern National Monument, Kobuk Valley National Park, and Noatak National Preserve.
If you may be considering a visit to Northwest Alaska the Northwest Arctic Heritage Center is the one-stop-shop for information and orientation of this remote area of parklands. Although trails and facilities are nonexistent in these National Park units, the Heritage Center offers informative exhibits, summer programs led by National Park Rangers, and documentary films to be watched while visiting Kotzebue, Alaska. Any questions? Call the ranger at the front desk at (907)442-3890.
