Welcome to one of the most remote and least visited parks in the National Park Service, Alaska's marvelous Aniakchak National Monument and Preserve located on the Alaskan Peninsula. One of the unique features of this park is volcanic caldera over six miles wide and 2,500 feet deep that erupted over 3,500 years ago. This caldera serves as a reminder of Alaska's location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, spreading across the most geologically active regions on the planet.

Bear Alert! All visitors must be on the lookout for bears. Here are a few safety tips. Do not leave food or any other belongings unattended at any time for these could attract bears. Make noise: Bears will generally steer clear if they sense that humans are near so make your presence known and make lots of noise. Don't Run: Running only encourages the bear's to pursue you. If you find yourself in the presence of one back away very slowly.

For the lover of the outdoors this preserve boasts rafting opportunities on the magnificent Aniakchak River. This river was Congressionally desginated a national wild river in 1980 and has gentle sections as well as a section that descends 75 feet per mile. Although there are no formal trails in this park, the cinder and ash fields of the caldera floor make for excellent hiking conditions. Come on out and explore.
