Wrangell-St. Elias Visitor Center

We arrived after the park had closed but none of the gates had been locked. As soon as we got out of the truck one of the rangers told me he was going to be locking the gates shortly and if we intended on using the park we needed to park on the outside of the gate so that we didn't get locked in. We did what he directed and then set off on our hike. The park offered ip some beautiful view of the woods as well as the river along the trail. We walked the easy trail first and soon found it dead-end to a cliff where part of the pathway had been washed away. We saw a few different kinds of wildlife.

Il centro è fatto molto bene con pannelli esplicativi semplici e chiari per grandi e bambini. Ci sono diversi edifici per apprendere la storia e la vita del parco, ci sono due percorsi semplicissimi, 1 miglio circa, e poi ci sono le attività organizzate dai rangers. Ci si può trascorrere mezz’ora o mezza giornata. Possibilità di riempire le borracce

Stopped by while exploring the area. Clean facilities, friendly staff, cool displays. Hiked a few of the trails in the area and enjoyed our visit!

Chill, well-maintained visitor station that gives rest and comfort for those who travel to/from Valdez. It has a little store section in it and a gorgeous mountain view on the deck.

We loved this National Park! There were lots of animal skins and things for the kids to touch and feel as well as for us adults. There was a movie in the theater which was very informative and inspiring. Beautiful views of the mountains with free binoculars at the viewing areas.

Beautiful visitors center with a great little walking trail. I love the posted foliage signs!

Great visitors center for introduction to the largest National park in the USA. Had excellent displays, theater, clean restrooms, and grounds. 2 different rangers gave talks one about the park overview and mountain peaks and glaciers. The other a talk about the boreal forest and fungi/mushrooms that can be seen there. Nice flat trails for easy walking to see the local plants and trees. Very quiet and beautiful views if you are lucky. We read every display, watched movie and did the trail. Can spend 3 hours there doing all that. Should bring your own food snacks and water. None for purchase. You can refill your water bottles there. Highly recommend.

We were very pleasantly surprised with how good our experience was here. And being Sunday we weren't even sure they would be open. We had some questions about backpacking. The woman we spoke to was very friendly and very helpful, but one question she did not know the answer to. She gave us the number to one of the rangers on staff and we contacted him and got all questions answered plus plenty more helpful information. We also found exactly what we were looking for in the gift shop (bear spray and stickers). We were beyond pleased with our experience here.
