Level 1 Adventure Traveler: Making it to Alaska!
The first step is simply getting to Alaska, and anyone who makes it to our state is already a Level 1 adventure traveler. You can either rent a car and drive around the state or opt for the comfort of a cruise ship. Both options offer breathtaking sights and a chance to experience Alaska’s culture from relative comfort.
Level 2 Adventure Traveler: Going Deeper into Alaska
For those ready to dive deeper into the heart of Alaska, Level 2 adventure travel is the way to go. Beyond the typical crowded areas and Denali, there lies a vast wilderness waiting to be explored. One of the hidden gems of Alaska is McCarthy and the neighboring town of Kennicott. This uncrowded wilderness connection offers a unique experience and the opportunity to venture into Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. With its snow-covered mountains and the Root Glacier, McCarthy is the perfect base for your Level 2 adventure.
Level 2 Adventurers and Beyond Should Visit Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is often referred to as “America’s Mountain Kingdom” and the “Crown of the Continent,” among many other names. In fact, the park’s website offers more superlatives than any other National Park and is a must-visit for Level 2 adventurers and beyond.
America’s largest National Park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts, with its vast wilderness, towering peaks, and enormous glaciers. Whether you’re an experienced hiker or a novice explorer, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park has something to offer everyone.
Level 3 Adventure Traveler: Being Active to Explore

The rugged terrain, towering mountains, and stunning glaciers await you, so you can witness the awe-inspiring beauty of Alaska up close. You might even spot some wildlife along the way. Level 3 allows you to immerse yourself in nature and create lasting memories of your Alaska adventure.
