So you've decided to elope in Alaska. But what are the best elopement locations??


Alaska isn't known as the Last Frontier for nothing. This is a land filled with vast mountain ranges, gorgeous tundra dotted with wildlife, and some of the most jaw-dropping glaciers on the planet - so who WOULDN'T want to elope here?? Some locations have their fare share of travel restrictions purely due to the wildness of the land (such as areas north of Fairbanks), but there are MANY locations that offer the best of both worlds: true solitude for your elopement AND (relative) ease of access.


Without any further introduction, let's check out some of the BEST elopement locations in Alaska!

Kenai Fjords National Park


Kenai Fjords is a unique national park in regards to its access points. There is one road that leads into the park near Seward, but all other portions of the park must be accessed by helicopter, plane, or boat.

Denali National Park


Oh Denali... the Great One. This behemoth of a mountain rises from the landscape in a way that is truly jaw-dropping. The awe that suddenly hits you makes sense once you realize that Denali has a greater rise from her base to peak than ANY mountain on the planet (we're looking at you, Everest!). On days when the mountain is out, she can be seen from MILES away, and even when she's hidden there are plenty of other stellar views from virtually anywhere within the park!

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park


My personal favorite! The first time I caught sight of the Wrangell Mountains, I was blown away. Miles upon miles of imposing mountains, an expanse that just calls you to explore.


As the most remote of Alaska's 3 easier to access national parks, this option is FANTASTIC if you want to feel like you're truly alone, but don't want to have to charter a plane or helicopter to do so.
