Backroads trip to Wrangell, a great biking trip with whitewater rafting. Enjoyed seeing Kennicott and copper mine.

World Class National Park
Wrangell-St. Elias is hands down the most spectacular National Park in the entire United States. Highly recommend hiking out to Root Glacier and grabbing a meal at The Potato. I camped at a dispersed site behind Base Camp Kennicott in August 2022 and felt like we had the place to ourselves.

Once in a lifetime
Highly recommend taking a day trip to the Kennicott Mill Town! You can get to McCarthy by shuttle or by bush plane. We took a plane with St Wrangell Air and have absolutely zero regrets. You can also drive your own vehicle but expect to hike for at least an hour before you get to McCarthy and from there you can shuttle to the Mill Town. Incredibly rich in history with 360 beautiful views. Everywhere you look is the front of a postcard. There are two places to eat there as well as a small gift shop in the visitor center. You can enter 9 of the buildings on a self guided tour or take a 2 hour guided tour deeper into the town. If I could change anything I would have stayed longer.
