NPS Mobile App for Wrangell-St. Elias

NPS Mobile App for Wrangell-St. Elias

Let a park ranger be your guide!

The National Park Service App is the official app for all 420+ national parks. The app was created by National Park Service staff—people who know national parks—to help you make the most of your visit. Unlike other apps, the NPS Mobile App takes authoritative information from park rangers, including interactive maps, saved data for offline use when in a remote area with no internet service, accessibility, self-guided tours, things to do, where to stay, shareable digital postcards, passport stamp locations, points of interest and operating hours and seasons. Download the official NPS mobile app before your next visit or take a virtual tour of the park.

Audio Description accessibility

The former NPS AD Tours app is being retired, but the Audio Description accessibility for several exhibits in the park is available by following these steps:

1. Download the free NPS app.
2. Search for Wrangell-St Elias.
3. The app can be saved on your phone or device for offline use when in remote areas without internet service.
4. Click or touch the person icon in the top right corner (my settings in the app).
5. From the menu, choose Audio Description and Tours.
6. Scroll down, click or touch Audio Description Tours.
7. Scroll to the bottom to choose Wrangell-St Elias.
8. Indoor Exhibits of the Kennecott Store/Warehouse, Manager's Office and North Sacking Shed are currently available and more exhibits will be added over time.

This app includes audio description designed to assist blind and low vision visitors in navigating and experiencing exhibit spaces at the parks listed in the app. At some parks, the content has been paired with bluetooth proximity triggers that automatically update and provide description for what's nearby as you walk through exhibits. Check at the main visitor center desk for more information about what's available. This app is designed to be used with the screenreader voiceover (apple devices) or talkback (android devices) on your phone.
