Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve has lifted the September 12th closure of a section of the Nugget Creek Trail off the McCarthy Rd. It was closed due to a bear-cached moose carcass on the trail. Although the carcass has been consumed and the trail is open, we remind visitors to follow bear and backcountry safety recommendations found at: Safety - Wrangell - St Elias National Park & Preserve (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov) and Be Bear Aware - Wrangell - St Elias National Park & Preserve (U.S. National Park Service) (nps.gov)
