Description
The 42-mile Nabesna Road offers tremendous views to rival any road system in Alaska. The Wrangell, Mentasta, and Nutzotin Mountains create a majestic panorama, characterized by some of the highest mountains in North America. Nabesna Road provides access to the north side of Alaska’s largest national park, the Wrangell-St Elias National Park and Preserve. Nabesna Road wasn’t built to access the park. In fact, it was constructed in 1933, nearly 50 years before Wrangell-St. Elias was established. The purpose: to get supplies in to Nabesna gold mine, and ore out to the Port of Valdez.
