| Within
its 13 million acres, Wrangell-St. Elias
National Park boasts North America's
largest assemblage of glaciers and its
greatest collection of peaks above 16,000
feet. This remote mountain kingdom, where
four ranges converge, allows a mere 100
miles of roadway to pierce its borders.
So what better way to experience the
highlights of America's largest national
park than by plane? |

| What was it like to live and work in a copper mining community set in the remote Alaskan wilderness? Step back in time with a tour inside the Kennecott Copper Corporation, now part of Alaska's most spectacular ghost town. In 1938, the last train pulled out of the once-industrious town of Kennicott, abandoning the mines, the buildings, and the tracks; tools and work papers remained where they'd been placed, as if frozen in time. |
