BLM Winter Bucket List #4: Steese National Conservation Area, Alaska, for Untouched Scenery

The BLM’s Steese National Conservation Area encompasses 1.2 million acres of public land about 100 miles northeast of Fairbanks. Its unique values include Birch Creek Wild and Scenic River, crucial caribou calving grounds and home range, and Dall sheep habitat.

In winter, the Steese NCA provides solitude and untouched scenery to those intrepid travelers who explore it by ski, snowshoe, dog-sled, or snowmobile. Sled dog racers in the Yukon Quest International Sled Dog Race traverse the western corner of the South Unit each February.

Visiting the Steese NCA means making your own adventure though. There are no established campgrounds and only two emergency trail shelters cabins. For those willing to explore on their own, the area offers a unique opportunity to see a landscape little altered by humankind. However, careful planning is required for a safe trip.
