The Best National Parks You’re Not Visiting #1: Aniakchak National Monument & Preserve

You can’t get there by road—no roads go there. You can get there by plane, but you’ll need to hire one of only a handful of bush pilots with the training, experience and confidence to fly into the 2,500-foot deep caldera.
