Would you explore this ghost town frozen in time located deep in remote Alaska⁉️

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!

Gain exclusive access to explore inside the 14-story mill building and several other historic buildings when you join our tour! St. Elias Alpine Guides holds the exclusive concession with the National Park Service. Our 2-hour historic Mill Town Tour is a must-do for anyone visiting Kennecott, Alaska!

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!
