Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve

Located in the remote and challenging terrain of Alaska, Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve is one of the least visited yet most wild places in the National Park System. This stunning landscape features a remarkable six-mile wide caldera formed by a massive volcanic eruption 3,500 years ago, showcasing the region's geological significance within the Ring of Fire.

Visitors to the park can experience the thrill of paddling the challenging Aniakchak River, which poses a test even for the most seasoned river runners. Bear encounters are common throughout the park, reminding adventurers of the untamed wildlife that inhabits this extraordinary wilderness.
