Rustic and Remote
Currently, there are 14 public-use cabins located within Wrangell-St. Elias. Most of these cabins were old mining, trapping, or hunting cabins that are located on public land and have been restored by the National Park Service. All cabins are in remote locations and require hikers/campers to make appropriate plans. Most of these cabins are accessible only by aircraft. One cabin, located at Peavine Bar, is wheelchair accessible.
