When flying into Deadhorse (Prudhoe Bay Oil fields) there is an airport. The bush pilot I mentioned was dropping off some backpackers into The Gates of The Arctic bush-country area, and also took the bike tourist to Deadhorse. I was impressed with the cost because it wasn't much more than I paid for a bus ticket. My point is it's a good idea to shop around for outfitters that can fit you in with others, to bring the cost down.
