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?
