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?
