The Real Alaska: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park on Ice

The Root Glacier in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park truly gives you a taste of the “Real Alaska” on your travel vacation. Although Wrangell-St. Elias National Park in Alaska is the largest national park in the United States, it is also one of the least visited. The sheer remoteness and lack of roads makes getting to this rugged wilderness sanctuary a challenge in itself. But for the truly bold and adventurous traveler looking for the trip of a lifetime, Wrangell-St. Elias is packed full of iconic Alaskan mountains, glaciers, rivers and is home to some of the last true wilderness in the world. I’ve spent years exploring the nooks and crannies of this 13.2 million acre wilderness paradise. But if I only had one day to spend in the park I would explore the many epic features of the Root Glacier just north of the towns of Kennecott and McCarthy.
