With so many choices, learn what makes Nabesna Road an ideal destination for your Alaskan experience!

Sustainability practices at Wrangell Mountains Wilderness Lodge

Backdropped by towering white cliffs, Nabesna Gold Mine and the old ghost town sit snugly in one of Alaska's most enchanting mountain valleys. As if from a fabled, single page in the romance of mining, Nabesna was discovered and almost single-handedly built by one man.

What you will find is like nowhere else: millions of pristine wilderness acres, jaw-dropping mountain views, wildlife up close, and the opportunity to experience the Last Frontier much as the first explorers did—with a spruce grouse or caribou as the only other traffic on your route.

The lodge sees wildlife year-round, from migrating eagles and hawks in early spring to nesting swans and moose through autumn, and the unpredictable caribou and lynx in the winter.

The weather here in Nabesna’s Wrangell mountains can change at any moment. There is really no way to predict all that could happen to you in the field, but there are ways to mitigate your exposure and make your outdoor adventures more enjoyable.

One of the best seasons here in the northern Wrangell Mountains is autumn. The nights are dark and starry, yet warm enough to enjoy first sightings of the Northern Lights.
