Wrangell-St. Elias National Park Snowmobiling Travel Tips

  • No permit is required for recreational snow machines to operate anywhere in the park when there is adequate snow cover (approximately 12 inches) and frozen ground.
  • Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve has no entrance stations or gates and never actually closes. However, winter arrives early in interior Alaska, and by September 15, available services and facilities are few. The park administration building in Copper Center is open weekdays year-round.
