At over 13 million acres, Wrangell–St. Elias National Park is the largest park in all of North America. It is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprising one of the most expansive protected wilderness areas on earth. Glaciers, rivers, and mountains stretch without interruption, shaping a landscape that remains as it has always been—largely untouched. This is a place where the road ends and the scale of the land takes over, immense, humbling, and deeply felt.
