2023 Series: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

So you want to visit Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve in 2023? You've come to the right place! I sat down (virtually) with Carrie Wittmer, team lead for the Division of Interpretation & Education, to discuss visiting Wrangell-St. Elias this summer; this is the audio-only version of our conversation which was originally video.

You'll learn things like: ★ Important info about the size and geography of Wrangell-St. Elias ★ A run-through of the access points and visitor centers in the park ★ Tips on safely visiting, hiking, seeing glaciers, and other things to do

And SO much more!

In the Q&A section, Carrie answers the following questions:

  • How long should you expect to allow to drive the McCarthy Road full length?
  • Is the Motherlode mine open?
  • How do you get from McCarthy to Kennecott?
  • What is the app for each national park?
  • What are the options for non-camping lodging in the park, or in Copper Center/Glennallen?

Have other questions about visiting Wrangell-St. Elias? Here's what to do:

  1. Head on over to my Alaska Travel Guide – I've got TONS of Alaska articles to help you plan your trip.
  2. Visit the official website for Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve

This episode was originally released as part of my 2023 Alaska Seminar Series; it's been edited to remove some content and clarify the episode, but I apologize for any weird cuts or irrelevant info from the original version.
