Stikine-LeConte Wilderness, Protected wilderness in Alaska Panhandle, US.
The Stikine-LeConte Wilderness extends across 448,926 acres of land, featuring mountains, glaciers, and the powerful Stikine River flowing through the Tongass National Forest.
The Stikine River has functioned as a vital transportation route throughout centuries, initially used by native inhabitants before becoming essential for fur traders and gold miners.
The Stikine River continues to support local communities through subsistence fishing, while commercial fishing operations utilize the waterway for transporting their catch.
Access to the wilderness area is primarily available through small boats, with twelve public use cabins distributed throughout the region for overnight stays.
The LeConte Glacier stands as North America's southernmost tidewater glacier, regularly releasing icebergs into LeConte Bay while maintaining its connection to the ocean.
