The list of superlatives is staggering! In addition to being America's largest national park (larger than Rhode Island and Vermont combined!), Wrangell-St. Elias is home to the continent's largest assemblage of glaciers, the second highest peak in the US and the greatest number of peaks above 16,000 feet. Backpacking through this amazing wilderness along the famed Goat Trail will both defy your imagination and test your wilderness skill set. With just enough "trail" to make the route manageable, this adventure includes the perfect array of challenge (off trail navigation, numerous river crossings, and steep terrain!), wildlife, stunning mountain scenery, and remote solitude. What's new for 2008? This year we're including roundtrip air transportation from Chitina to McCarthy and one night at the world famous Kennicott Glacier Lodge for truly an all-inclusive adventure in America's crown jewe
