Wrangell Saint Elias
The Chugach, Wrangell, and St. Elias mountain ranges converge here in
what is often referred to as the "mountain kingdom of North America."
The largest unit of the National Park System and a day's drive east of
Anchorage, this spectacular park includes the continent's largest assemblage
of glaciers and the greatest collection of peaks above 16,000 feet. Mount
St. Elias, at 18,008 feet, is the second highest peak in the United States.
Adjacent to Canada's Kluane National Park, the site is characterized by
remote mountains, sweeping valleys, wild rivers, and a variety of wildlife.
Proclaimed as Wrangell-St. Elias National Monument Dec. 1, 1978; established
as a national park and preserve Dec. 2, 1980. Wilderness designated Dec.
2, 1980. Designated a World Heritage Site Oct. 24, 1979.
