Drive to Gakona and Wrangell-St Elias National Park Alaska

The drive from North Pole to Gakona was supposed to be really pretty but it was rainy & cloudy the day we drove so I can't comment too much on it.

Big Delta Park


 Pipeline



Gakona area

Bear from cabin

We didn't a lot in the national park because of restrictions on driving rental cars too far into the park.  We did a quick hike at the Visitor Center.
