Happy Winter Solstice! ✨

Not only does today mark the start of winter, it is also the shortest day of the year. Here in Wrangell- St. Elias National Park we'll receive only 5 hours of daylight.

Spotted 👀 Santa's reindeer vacationing in Wrangell- St. Elias National Park over the summer 🎅 🎄 Can you believe Christmas is only one week away⁉️

Reindeer are also known as "caribou". It can actually be quite challenging to spot caribou in the wild. They are busy grazers and browsers during summer, constantly on the move.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas ❄️ 🎿

Since 1978, St. Elias Alpine Guides has provided extreme adventurers access to North America’s premier mountain wilderness – Wrangell St. Elias National Park. A convergence of three impressive mountain ranges, the Park offers endless remote, world-class climbing and skiing. We offer small-group wilderness-style expeditions – no fixed lines, no sherpas, no busy basecamp scenes and established camps, no weather stations, and usually no one on the mountain except our team!

is this a thing yet⁉️

Moulins are nearly cylindrical, vertical shafts carved by meltwater from the glacier's surface. These well-like features act as the glacier's internal plumbing system.

Dream about the thrill of climbing in a moulin or exploring other cool glacial features❓ Check out our Ice Climbing Trips and Glacier Hikes 🧊 Now booking through the 2025 season‼️

Kennecott, Alaska is a ghost town frozen in time. When the Kennecott Copper Corporation abruptly abandoned the town in 1938, they left behind their equipment, buildings, and personal belongings; yet, their stories of discovery, perseverance, and ingenuity live on!

St. Elias Alpine Guides holds the exclusive concession with the National Park Service, and access to the 14-story Concentration Mill is only possible through our Historic Kennecott Mill Town Tour.

Mice spotted on a glacier⁉️👀 🐭

Glacier mice are colonies comprised of different moss species. They have been observed in just a few places, most notably right here in our backyard on the Root Glacier.

Can't choose between rafting or hiking for your next adventure⁉️Or perhaps you're yearning for an epic multisport adventure⁉️In search of a true Alaska backcountry experience but short on time⁉️

Check out our Tebay Lake Fly-In Paddle 🏔️ 🛶

Depart from the small town of McCarthy for a 45-minute bush plane flight to Tebay Lake, where you’ll see some of the best landscapes that Alaska has to offer. Just when you think it can’t get any better, you’ll arrive at your playground for the day – a series of deep blue alpine lakes, surrounded by rolling meadows of alpine tundra and rocky peaks. You and your guide will inflate the packrafts and begin your adventure by paddling through the turquoise water of Tebay Lake.

Ever wonder what makes glacier ice so blue 🧊 ❔

The compression of snow into glacial ice squeezes out air bubbles 🫧 allowing light to pe*****te deeper and interact more with the ice molecules. When white light enters glacier ice 🔦 the red and orange wavelengths are absorbed by the ice molecules, leaving the blue wavelengths reflected back.
