It's massive, it's vast, it's beautiful, it's wild, it's Wrangell st Elias. The park boasts mountains, rivers, gorges, pounds, lakes, pines and lots of wild life. If you can find your way to Dixie pass, (through a dirt driveway) the hike is beautiful.
Super difficult to get to this national park but very worth it! We took the Kennicott shuttle for the McCarthy road and stayed at the Kennicott Glacier Lodge. Highly recommend this lodge since they provide a hotel shuttle pick up and meals.
Definitely hike on the Root Glacier and do the Mill House Tour! So much history in this historic town. The natural beauty is so pristine. Nice place to get away from the hustle and bustle of big cities for sure!
This place is what you imagine Alaska being like. The pictures in every magazine growing up that created that desire to explore the frontier have to come from this place. There are glaciers to explore and the sunsets behind the mountains are breath taking. If you’re lucky at night you’ll get to see the Northern Lights above the mountains.
Wrangell–St. Elias is the largest national park in the U.S. It encompasses four mountain ranges, including several volcanoes (one of which, Mount Wrangell, is still active), as well as stunning glaciers. The breathtaking landscapes are perfect for all sorts of activities. The park borders two Canadian parks—the Kluane National Park in Yukon and the Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park in British Columbia. Together, these three parks are listed as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
