I want to know if there is a specific word or phrase in spanish for this phrase. I looked for it everywhere but I could not find its equivalent in spanish. This is the context:
...I ran off. Took my daughter, and moved. The Alaskan Bush is the one place left in this world you can go to and never be found.
Thank you so much!
...I ran off. Took my daughter, and moved. The Alaskan Bush is the one place left in this world you can go to and never be found.

Por la traducción al francés en Canadá --le bois-- pienso que sigue aplicándose. En español no tenemos las mismas connotaciones que en inglés para bush, así que algo se pierde en la traducción.
The Bush in Alaska is generally described as any community not "on the road system", making it accessible only by more elaborate transportation. Usage is similar in Canada; it is called la brousse, or colloquially le bois, in Canadian French.

los páramos de Alaska
Como lugares no poblados, solitarios. El tipo de bosque en sí sería el 'taiga', pero por lo que decís creo que no se refiere a esto. 'Monte' como usaríamos aquí no va, y 'desierto' menos. Suerte!

La espesura en Alaska
En el lenguaje literario, cuando alguien se pierde (sin especificar si es bosque, matorral o páramo), es en la espesura.

el interior de Alaska
As you can see from the following Wikipedia article, the term does not relate to the type of vegetation, but to the fact that it is away from the highways and main urban centers.
The Bush is a term for the portions of Alaska that are not connected by North America's interconnected system of roadways.
The vast majority of Alaska's geography is located in the Bush, but the majority of the population lives in or near the two main urban areas of Anchorage and Fairbanks.
Most Alaskans refer to any place besides Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau, and the towns of the Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su boroughs as falling within the Bush.
Although the Bush in Alaska is generally described as any community not "on the road system," there are distinctions within how different parts of the state define this term. Residents of remote Eskimo villages, for instance, do not consider communities connected by the Alaska State Marine Highway ferries as properly part of the Bush. Also, Juneau is not connected to the road system and yet is not referred to as part of "the bush".
Most parts of Alaska that are off the road system can only be reached by small airplane, and travel from place to place is typically accomplished through alternative means of transportation such as snowmobile or snowmachine, boat, or dog sled.

la tundra de Alaska
Por lo que he visto tras investigar un poco, Alaskan Bush se refiere a las comunidades y pequeñas poblaciones que viven alejadas del sistema de carreteras y por tanto aisladas: pueblitos perdidos de esquimales y otros habitantes, a lo que no es fácil llegar. Tal parece que en español se refieren a ella como "la tundra de Alaska".
¡Suerte!

1: "La ciudad de Seward es el puerto que originalmente utilizaron los mineros en la época de la fiebre del oro para acceder a la <B>remota Alaska</B>, puesto que mientras el resto de la costa estatal se ve expuesta a la furia del Océano Pacífico sus aguas se encuentran protegidas por la tranquila y resguardada Resurrection Bay"

I suppose there would be an issue as to whether to use capitals for the whole name, the same as in the original, since -as Deborah pointed out- "The Bush" seems to be a proper name. However, I wouldn't leave it in English in this case.
