Being prepared for the unexpected is important when traveling in the wilderness backcountry of Alaska.

Travel in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve

Bering Land Bridge National Preserve is in a remote part of Alaska, you are closer to Russia than you are to Anchorage or Fairbanks. You must come prepared.

Wilderness travel requires you have skills in backcountry travel and are self reliant. Your pick-up from the backcountry can be delayed up to several days because of weather and the same is true of medical help. You should carry an ample first aid kit in case of emergencies and bring along extra food in case of unplanned extensions to your trip.

For those looking for a more predictable adventure into remote Alaska, the Administrative Offices for Bering Land Bridge National Preserve are located in Nome on Front Street. The Office have a small interpretive center that offers limited exhibits and films as well as special programs.
