When Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I set off towards the gigantic Wrangell-St. Elias National Park back in 2017, we had no idea just how wild and raw the landscape ahead of us would be. I still remember the moment we first caught sight of Matanuska Glacier from the road \u2014 we just stood there, jaws dropped, staring at the sheer mass of ice. The area covered by Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is almost beyond comprehension. This park is so enormous it could comfortably swallow the whole of Switzerland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re considering a trip to this corner of Alaska, let me give you a fair warning upfront. This isn’t Yellowstone, where you cruise along smooth tarmac from one viewpoint to the next. Most of Wrangell-St. Elias is inaccessible by road, and tourist infrastructure is virtually non-existent. But the reward for all that discomfort? Turquoise glaciers, majestic volcanoes, abandoned mining ghost towns, and the unmistakable feeling that you’ve stumbled upon the true end of the earth \u2014 a place where wild nature still reigns supreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Want to know what lies beyond that dusty road? I’ve put together 13 places that are absolutely worth the effort. I’ll also share where to sleep and how to eat here, even on a tight budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
