WRANGELL MOUNTAINS CENTER

Connecting people with wildlands through art, science, and education in Alaska

☆ ☆ ☆

Welcome

The Wrangell Mountains Center is based in McCarthy, Alaska, surrounded by our nation's largest National Park, Wrangell-St. Elias, and just minutes from the toe of the Kennicott Glacier. Serving students, writers, artists, scientists, travelers, and local citizens, our non-profit offers opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to explore, express themselves, and be transformed through direct experience with this extraordinary place.
