The Gates of the Arctic Expedition 2010

The trekking phase of the expedition will take place in the Wrangle St. Ellis National Park between the Mt. Wrangell Plateau and Nugget Creek.

This 50 mile trek will be a very challenging journey that defines rugged, remote trekking in the Wrangells. It is an extremely demanding trip through dramatic terrain.

This route will take us through some of the most impressive countryside in the Wrangell range – including glacier and stream crossings. The route also features impressive views of Mt. Blackburn, Mt. Drum, Mt. Wrangell and lots more.
