Wrangell-St. Elias National Park: What to Know to Visit in 2023

So you want to visit Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve in 2023? You've come to the right place!
I sat down with Carrie Wittmer, team lead for the Division of Interpretation & Education, to discuss visiting Wrangell-St. Elias this summer.
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!
Have other questions about visiting Wrangell-St. Elias? Here's what to do:
1. Head on over to the Valerie & Valise Alaska Travel Guide - I've got TONS of Alaska articles to help you plan: www.valisemag.com/guides/alaska/
2. Visit the official website for Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve: www.nps.gov/wrst/index.htm
3. Ask your questions below and I'll answer them!
In this video, I promote travel to a destination that is the traditional lands of the Ahtna, Upper Tanana, Eyak, and Yakutat Tlingit people. With respect, I make a formal land acknowledgment, extending my appreciation and respect to the past and present people of these lands. To learn more about the people who call these lands home, I invite you to explore Native Land: native-land.ca.

Hello Valerie! We are coming to Alaska! You are doing a great job!!!! Now, our question: can we drive our trailer Rv to Chetna? On the way to Kennicot? We are certainly going to see this range of mountains!!! Thanks for the GREAT videos! We can’t wait to come and visit! Remi (Quebec, 🇨🇦)

Hi! You need to check with your RV rental agency to see if they allow you to drive on the McCarthy Road. If it's your own RV, it's at your own risk.

hey valerie,
We are 2 guys from Belgium with some hiking experience.
Now we would be heading to Alaska for the first time and specifically Wrangler St Elias national park. We would like to spend 2 weeks here, but since the park is so huge, we don't really know where to start. Any tips?
Thanks in advance
Rune

I would start on the WSE National Park website :)
