UAF Large Animal Research Station

036

  This is the University of Alaska’s research and education center focusing on muskoxen, caribou, and reindeer. The muskoxen can be viewed for free from the parking lot but there’s also a guided tour for $10.00. A college student tour guide will coax the animals closer to the fencing with treats of willow branches and lichen. The tour lasts for about an hour and involves a short walk and talk about each of the animals.

  The path is covered in medium size loose gravel and has a slight slope. Pushing is very hard. Most wheelchair users will need to have some help.

  The parking area is large enough for any RV. Tour
