Missed Your Wrangell–St. Elias Passport Stamp?

Wrangell–St. Elias National Park has passport cancellation stamps at the Main Visitor Center on the Richardson Highway near Copper Center, at the Chitina Ranger Station, and at the Kennecott Visitor Center in the historic mining town accessible via the McCarthy Road. The Kennecott stamp is one of the most sought-after secret national park cancellation stamps, requiring a 60-mile gravel road drive and a footbridge crossing.

A missing national park cancellation from Wrangell–St. Elias is common because the park is the largest in the entire national park system — six times the size of Yellowstone — and most of it is only accessible by bush plane. If you flew to a remote glacier or river valley for rafting or mountaineering, you likely never encountered a ranger station. The Richardson Highway visitor center is on the main road between Anchorage and Valdez, and many drivers pass it without stopping.
