Wrangell, Alaska, United States

  • Wooden trail through lush forest scenery

Wrangell sits in the heart of Alaska’s intensely beautiful southeastern region, encompassed almost entirely by the Tongass National Forest, and holds its own with its awe-inspiring natural offerings. The unspoiled, forested landscape boasts splendid vistas and countless opportunities to observe fascinating wildlife. Depending on the season, visitors might see bald eagles; trumpeter swans gliding across Pat’s Lake; chum salmon making their way to Institute Creek; or harbor seals and Steller’s sea lions sunbathing on the ancient rocks of Petroglyph Beach State Historic Park.
