When many people think of Alaska, they simply think snowmobiles. Alaska has a myriad of great ATVing opportunities.
Located in Anchorage, are a good number of ATVing sites. Included in this area are The Iditarod National Historic Trail which is a challenging run to make on your ATV, the Unalakleet National Wild River Trails and the Campbell Tract in Anchorage are administered under the program which is managed by the Bureau of Land Management in Anchorage.
The Dalton Highway Recreational Area located just outside of Fairbanks is another great location to take your ATV. Bring your camera as you are sure to encounter wild Dall Sheep that live in herds on the rocky slopes to the Atigun Pass. You will also most likely see Artic Foxes, Musk Oxen are usually found at the northern end of Slope Mountain as well as caribou, falcons, golden eagles and rough-legged hawks. At an elevation of 4,739-feet this is the highest road in the Alaskan Trail System. Because of the high incidence of wild life in this area, you will be required to have a noise muffler installed on your ATV prior to riding these trails.
Another great ATV trail to ride is located in the White Mountains National Recreation Area. There are over 1 million acres to ride. During February to April, snowmobilers and dogsledders heavily use the area. After the snows melt, great tundra for ATVing abounds. The Bureau of Land Management maintains 9 cabins for use by outdoor recreationists and the Trails by Beaver Creek National Wild River offer up several short trails to ride.
