Wrangell Ḵaachx̱aana
Sitka, city and borough, southeastern Alaska, historically the most notable Alaskan settlement. U.S. Situated 95 miles (150 km) southwest of Juneau, on the western coast of Baranof Island in the Alexander Archipelago, it is the only city in southeastern Alaska that lies on the Pacific Ocean.
There are only two roads that enter the park : The Nabesna Road and the McCarthy Road. Both are gravel roads that are owned and maintained by the state of Alaska and not the National Park Service. Both roads are usually passable to all vehicles during the summer months.
The Wrangell – St . Elias National Park Visitor Center near Copper Center can be reached from Anchorage on the Glenn Highway and from Fairbanks and Valdez via the Richardson Highway. Only two unpaved roads penetrate this massive park .
Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve lies west of Juneau, AK and can only be reached by plane or boat. The only road merely connects the small town of Gustavus and its airfield to park headquarters at Bartlett Cove (10 miles).
