7:35 PM LOCAL TIMEThe Wrangell Mountains form a rugged, remote range in southeastern Alaska, featuring some of the state's most active volcanoes and largest glaciers. At their core is Mount Wrangell, one of Alaska's only permanent ice-covered volcanoes, and the range connects north to the arete-crossed passes near Silver Valley. Visitors come to experience sleek glaciers, volcano-viewing, long backcountry hikes, and routes that require mountaineering skill along high passes and iced valleys. The range is less developed than nearby coastal areas but rewards those willing to traverse its passionate contrasts — towering summits, icy basins, and wild subalpine terrain.
