Does an America the Beautiful pass cover Wrangell–St. Elias?

Direct answer

Yes. The pass does not cover the entrance fee and does not cover reservations, timed entry, or permits.

Coverage, kept separate

Accepted: Yes
Entrance fee: Not covered
Reservations and permits: Not covered

There is no entrance fee for a pass to cover, so the fee-free days are irrelevant here. The park explicitly cannot sell you a federal land pass because it does not charge an entrance fee; passes can only be bought at parks that do charge, or online.

Because we do not charge an entrance fee, Wrangell-St. Elias visitor centers do not sell or issue federal land passes. ... Federal land passes can be purchased only at parks that have an entrance fee or online at several websites including the USGS store.
