  • Recommended Activities
    There are no developed facilities in the Monument. Access in summer is by plane or boat. Winter access is by plane, snowmachine or dogsled. Summer hikes are possible in the Monument although private land lines much of the coast. A hike in the hills provides a spectacular view of tundra landforms and the Chukchi Sea. Kayaking is also possible on several large lagoons, however prevailing westerly winds often bring wind chill factors near below freezing, even in summer.
    Small planes may be chartered from Kotzebue to access the Monument, or to fly over the area for a view of the beach ridges.
