Stay at a Far North Alaska bed and breakfast to experience the Arctic and learn about Native culture. Most areas of the Far North are above the Arctic Circle yet accessible via plane from either Anchorage or Fairbanks. This region encompasses the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, the United States’ most northern city, Barrow, Prudhoe Bay and the northern origin of the Trans Alaska Pipeline, and a number of Alaska Native villages.

Barrow, Alaska: This is the land of the Midnight Sun. In Barrow, for example, in July the sun never sets, but in December the sun never shows above the horizon.

Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is home to caribou, grizzly and polar bears, wolves, musk ox, Dall sheep, peregrine falcons, snow geese, tundra swans and a variety of other wildlife. Activities in the refuge include, climbing, rafting, hiking, fishing and hunting. You’ll want to be fully prepared for your visit to the refuge, and your BBAA innkeeper can provide you with valuable information regarding air taxi services, recreational outfitters and trip guides.

Nome and Kotzebue, Alaska: In Nome, you can witness the finish of the Iditarod Sled Dog Race or go panning for gold on the beach. Kotzebue provides opportunities for numerous outdoor activities, as well as shopping for native arts and crafts, visiting museum exhibits and more.
