1. Gates of the Arctic National Park, Alaska

No roads, no trails—just 8.4 million acres of untouched wilderness. Most campers arrive by bush plane and face grizzlies, harsh weather, and total isolation. Self-sufficiency is key.

2. Thorofare, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Essential Gear:

• German Military Surplus Mosquito Head Net – Ultimate bug protection for outdoor adventures.
• Flatbrook Folding Stove – Portable, heavy-duty cooking for any adventure.

3. Maze District, Canyonlands National Park, Utah

A labyrinth of canyons and mesas, the Maze District is one of the least accessible places in the U.S. Only experienced navigators should attempt this trip. The twisting rock formations and deep slot canyons make navigation challenging, requiring advanced orienteering skills to traverse safely.

5. Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho

One of the largest roadless areas in the lower 48, featuring deep canyons, wild rivers, and total seclusion. Adventurers must be completely self-reliant. The Salmon River, known as the “River of No Return,” carves through the wilderness, offering challenging whitewater rafting opportunities for the truly daring.

Essential Gear:

• USA GI Military Surplus Cotton Laundry Bag – Essential for keeping clothes and food supplies organized.

6. Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex, Montana

Known as "The Bob," this million-acre wilderness has no roads, only deep valleys, towering peaks, and wild rivers. A haven for horseback riders and serious backpackers. The Continental Divide Trail runs through this remote expanse, providing long-distance hikers with breathtaking views and ultimate solitude.
