We spent an extra day in Tok, AK, in order to take a day trip to one of two roads into Wrangell- St Elias National Park and Preserve. With a bit of a time crunch towards the end of the trip, we wanted to make sure we visited the park. The Slana ranger station on Nenana Road is only open in summer. The ranger said a busy day might see 70 to 100 people. The McCarthy road visitor centers see a lot more, but still nothing like a Yellowstone. Speaking of Yellowstone, Wrangell - St Elias is more than six times larger and is the nation's largest national park.
The Nenana Road section seems to be primarily a jumping off point for a lot of off-roading trails. Hiking trails. Infrastructure is limited. Our favorite view was of the mountains in back of a large meadow area.
