“How do you describe something as majestic as what we flew through? That’s the thing. I don’t really have the words for it.” Join Alaskan bush pilot*, Lynn Ellis in breathtaking Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve, home to the largest protected wilderness in America. The Wrangell-Saint Elias Wilderness protects over nine million acres of steep mountains, winding rivers, glaciated valleys, and countless wildlife species. Lynn’s family homesteaded in the area before it became a national park. He has been flying in these mountains since he was 16 years old and has a unique and intimate connection with the land. He now brings his years of knowledge to the NPS, providing access for the biologists and rangers that care for this special place.
*Note: The landing of aircraft in NPS wilderness, like the plane featured in this video, is unique to Alaska and is not typically allowed in other states that have NPS wilderness.
