The first book of its kind for the largest national park in the United
States. Six times the size of Yellowstone National Park, Wrangell-St.
Elias welcomes 40,000 visitors every year, and each of them will
maximize the visit with this all-new guidebook. Detailed information is
provided for navigating fifty of the best hiking routes through 13.2
million acres of Alaskan wilderness. The book is organized by type of
trip: day hikes, frontcountry treks (starting from road-accessible
trailheads), and remote backcountry treks (accessible via fly-in). There
are detailed maps and black and white photographs as well as sidebars
and narratives about river crossings, navigation, bear safety, wildlife,
seasonal changes, and finding the routes.
