Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park encompasses 13 million acres with 1 million acres of native and private lands within the borders of the park. This park is known as "America’s Mountain Kingdom." There are more mountains, glaciers & wildlife here than anywhere else on earth.
The list of “biggest”, “best”, and “most” goes on and on. Rather than continue with what the National Park Service describes as “more superlatives than any other National Park”, we recommend a look at the photography of Franz Lanting.
But for those who love lists, here is a short one. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park has:
- 9 of North America’s 16 tallest peaks
- Over 150 glaciers
- 4 major mountain ranges
- More mountain peaks than any other location on earth
- The tallest coastal mountains in the world
- The largest glacier outside of the polar caps
- One of two glaciers in the world with a forest growing on it (and trees are calving off the edge!)
- Wrangell-St. Elias National park is part of the largest World Heritage Site
