Why go there?
Wrangell-St. Elias is the largest national park in the U.S. and rises from the ocean all the way up to 18,008 ft. At 13.2 million acres, the park is the same size as Yellowstone National Park, Yosemite National Park, and Switzerland combined! Known for its vast glaciers, towering peaks, and rugged landscapes, the park's diverse ecosystems are home to various indigenous cultures, including the Ahtna Athabascan people, who have inhabited this region for thousands of years. The park is also a haven for rare and unique wildlife and offers a glimpse into the untamed beauty of the Alaskan wilderness.
