I’ve explored, to some degree, wild places in much of Alaska. I’ve poked my nose into southeast, I’ve ambled around Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, gone to Gates and done Denali.
I spend a lot of time in Katmai National Park.
They’re all incredible.
But they’ll never just rock my world like Wrangell-St. Elias National Park does.
Secret tip: for river trips, I’d head north.
Gates and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge win. Hands down. Ironically, the water is (typically) warmer in this rivers than it is in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
But if you want to keep your feet on the ground?
Go to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

Hey Folks, But what’s a weeklong hike? Hiking trips in Alaska are a little bit different to hiking elsewhere. Alaska itself is a little bit different. It’s bigger. Wilder. Harder. Hiking in Alaska is harder than what you’re used to. Most correctly, I’d suggest that hiking in Alaska is substantially harder than what you’re used […]
Dawn light on the Wrangell Mountains and reflection in an alpine tarn near Hidden Creek and the Lakina River, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, Alaska.
Hey Folks I’ll talk here briefly about one of the issues people seem to have backpacking in Alaska. Sure, trips can be strenuous and hard in terms of endurance and cardiovascular fitness, but a more common issue for people is hiking over uneven terrain. For those folks who are used to backpacking and hiking on […]
Our newest backpacking trip in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the Wrangell Ramble. We’re all excited to get you on the trip. Totally a cool a walk.
Hey Folks, I finally get a chance to catch up quickly here – it’s been one trip after another, and though the weather’s not been the best, the trips have all been a ton of fun. I’m heading out in a few days for another basecamp/photo trip, which should be great, and then the season […]
