I’d like to thank you again for your wonderful advice on our trip to Wrangell-St. Elias. Throughout the process, you were easy to work with and you did everything you could to make our trip enjoyable. As the lead, I always worry about the trip members and it was a relief to leave the air travel in your competent hands. If you need references, please feel free to give my name and I’d be happy to recommend Wrangell Mountain Air..

Gold was discovered in the hills and this log cabin town sprang up nearly overnight. The year was 1913 yet today this town still exists and offers the rare experience of a frontier town in a rugged mountain setting. From Chisana you can day hike or hike a loop through the hills where gold was discovered, or head off across the tundra to another airstrip for a later pickup.

In Chisana you can stay at a log cabin the National Park Service renovated or at a local B&B. Enjoy the friendly atmosphere and clean mountain air at this fly in only, remote Alaskan town.
