"It was a dreary day but I got some decent photos of the old mine buildings. We watched the video in the general store information building. It was very interesting. Saw a lynx on the drive out there. Found the road better than described by some."
"Yes, the drive is "interesting" to some, to others it might be "daunting". (We took our Class-C motor home all the way to the pedestrian bridge - which is as far as the average person can drive.) Either way, Wrangell-St. Ellias National Park and the historic Kennecott Copper Mine is truly worth th..."e drive. See it for yourself, but don't always believe the tour guides...some of their info is correct, but not all of it. We happened to have a mechanical engineer among our group who set the guide straight on what a "motor" is...just because the item is large and has moving parts, doesn't make it a motor (apparently). Two of my best meals were at the two most easily found restaurants in Kennecott and in McCarthy. If you see "House-made noodles with Duck Sausage" on the menu in McCarthy...order that!

"Wrangell St. Elias is the nations largest park. It butts up against Kluane National Park in the Yukon. The entire area is one of the most spectacular mountain wilderness areas in the world. However, it is so immense it is very difficult to see it all; actually, you need days and have to fly much of ..."it. For instance, the Chitina River is the big tributary to the Copper. It flows out of the Chitina Glacier that runs west off of Mt. Lucania and Mt. Logan. These peaks are in the St. Elias range and on the Canadian side. Logan is the largest mountain mass on the face of the earth and only a tad shorter than Mt. McKinley. The Kennecott mines are where the Kennecott Copper Corporation got its start. They closed in 1938, richest copper ore the world has ever seen, and the Park Service is doing an excellent job of preserving some of the buildings. The Kennicott Glacier runs up Mt. Blackburn, (highest in the Wrangells). One enjoys world-class glacier and mountain viewing from the Kennecott mine ...
