| Native Alaskan fish wheel to trap salmon. We've seen several of these in rivers! |
This park is 4-5 times larger than Yellowstone. It is the largest Natl. park. It has a glacier larger than Rhode Island. It has over 13 million acres. Russians entered the area in the late 1700s, but people became active here more than 8,000 years ago. Many people both native and non native subsistence hunt and fish here, but now more are also using this area for recreation activities. I checked at head quarters to see about camping here, but the only place was at the other end of the park. Many of these acres are under the native Alaskans authority. You need permits to hunt and trek into the interior.
