Wrangell–St. Elias Dog Policy
Wrangell–St. Elias National Park is Dog Friendly
The largest national park in the system protects the convergence of the Alaska, Chugach, Wrangell, and Saint Elias Ranges, which include many of the continent's tallest mountains and volcanoes, including the 18,008-foot Mount Saint Elias. More than a quarter of the park is covered with glaciers, including the tidewater Hubbard Glacier, piedmont Malaspina Glacier, and valley Nabesna Glacier.[1]
Wrangell–St. Elias National Park is a very large national park, and dog friendly. Dogs are allowed pretty much everywhere except inside buildings, but they must be kept on a leash. Dogs also cannot be left unattended. Please note that trapping is common and legal in the area, so please be careful with your dog. Also be cautious of wildlife in the area.
