Tucked in between misty inland forests and the frigid waters of the Inside Passage, Wrangell, Alaska sits on the northern tip of an island of the same name in the state's wild and vast southeastern panhandle. It’s one of the oldest settlements in the state, first as a Tlingit trading hub, later a Russian outpost, then a boomtown for gold miners and fur traders. Today, Wrangell is home to about 2,000 people, a deep-water port, and some of the wildest and most untouched scenery in the country.

We Love Our National Parks, but This Alaska Wildlife Refuge Is Just as Spectacular
Compared to those found in the Lower 48, Alaska has eight national parks and almost no one in them. While Yellowstone sees around 3.3 million annual visitors, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park near Chitina, Alaska, the biggest national park in the U.S., only sees around 65,000, while Gates of the Arctic hovers around 10,000. But Alaska's national parks are far from empty; they're packed with massive, cinematic terrain.
