About

Chilkat State Park is a breathtaking destination known for its stunning views of glaciers and the inlet. While the scenery is universally praised, the access road is a major point of contention, with many visitors describing it as rough and unsuitable for larger RVs. Those who make the drive are rewarded with beautiful hiking trails and a serene camping experience. It is a true nature lover's park, but definitely one that requires a vehicle capable of handling a bumpy road.
