Continuing our Alaskan adventure from this post…Pippin Lake was half way mark on our trip. Next on was Wrangell-St. Elias National Park – highlight being the glacier hike! Day 5: Glacier Walking At Wrangell St. Elias National Park There are several glaciers that you can hike in Alaska. Wrangell St. Elias National Park is neither the most touristy nor the most easily accessible. If I had to replan the whole trip, I will skip this part…
