Alaska is a big state (twice the size of Texas) with 19 National Park System units, eight of which are national parks. So how about a quiz focused on these eight parks? How many of you have traveled to any or all of them, and just how much do you really know? Test your knowledge with these 10 quiz questions. You might learn something from the questions as well as the trivia.

A long-running effort to build a road through part of Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, crossing the wild and scenic Kobuk River in the process, to reach a proposed copper mine has landed the river on American Rivers' 2024 list of America’s Most Endangered Rivers®.

While much conservation and political attention have focused on whether to allow oil development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, another project, the Ambler Mining Project, and road construction proposal may pose even greater threats to the Arctic’s wildlife and wildlands. Despite this threat, the Ambler project has thus far received far less attention from the media, politicians, and conservation organizations.

Though lawsuits are pending in a bid to halt a proposed copper mine's access road from cutting across parts of Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve and the Kobuk Wild and Scenic River in Alaska, the mining company plans to move forward this year with fieldwork, part of which would involve surveying work for the road.
