Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve
We've had a great 2016 season at Wrangell- St. Elias National Park and Preserve! We served over 85,000 visitors as we celebrated the National Park Service Centennial. This was an increase from last year and has been the trend for a few years now.
On August 25, we celebrated the National Park Service Centennial in our park. We joined parks nationwide to celebrate. We provided several special programs that showcased the history of the NPS, some of our new projects being developed, such as new Kennecott Mines National Historic Landmark Exhibits. We shared cake and ice cream with over 400 visitors as we discussed looking forward to the next 100 years. It was great to see the enthusiasm in our visitors and employees alike. read more
