A girl I grew up with lived next to Denali National Park for nearly 20 years. She raised sled dogs and was a master seamstress. Her cabin was off the road, only accessible by snow machine or quads, and dog sled, of course! She lived a life full of adventures in the wilderness of Alaska. Last year she moved back to Washington state, she was diagnosed with a progressive neural disorder that was terminal. In April she flew to Switzerland to access the legal euthanasia program and she chose to end her amazing life. I am grateful to have been part of your story, Becky. I understand your decision, but I miss our long conversations. Rest In Peace- Becky Sather

This is definitely not the last community in a National Park. The Nümü Tümpisattsi have fought for almost 100 years to maintain their community within Death Valley National Park and continue to live there today despite all of the government's hostile efforts.

I have spent a lot of time in Wrangell-St. Elias, it is wild to see it in this video. Some really good people live there and some people you will never see because they want to keep it that way. You can drive there but have multiple spare tires, the road is not 4x4 but the road base has lots of 4" and 3" rocks that beat your vehicle to death.

Thanks for the tour of this national park - as many of us probably haven't heard of it and may or may not make the trek to see it. I would have liked to see more about the "community" residing in the park, as that's what the title refers to. For example, what do they do to pay bills and continue to thrive there?
