Welcome to Kennicott Glacier Lodge in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

Imagine yourself at the center of America’s largest national park, overlooking 25 miles of glacier, and surrounded by 14 of the highest mountain peaks on the continent! You could be one of the few people to explore this spectacular part of Alaska when you stay at Kennicott Glacier Lodge.
