The spectacular landscape of Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park and Preserve is the result of a 1980 congressional act that set the 13.2 million acres (5.3 million hectares) of land aside to remain undisturbed. One of the United States' biggest national parks, Wrangell-Saint Elias is home to grizzly bears, wolves, caribou, moose, mountain goats, and Dall sheep.
