In our attempt to squeeze a summer's worth of travel into 30 days, Chuck and I headed to McCarthy, AK last weekend. If you are looking in McCarthy, it's inside the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and surrounded by gorgeous mountains and glaciers. We drove down Friday night and camped next to the Matanuska Glacier then drove the rest of the way Saturday morning. McCarthy is not accessible by car, so anyone that isn't a local must hike the 1/2 mile once crossing the footbridge. We spent some time on the Root Glacier (glad we didn't pay for a guided tour) and ate some delicious food. Sunday, we rafted a low Kennicott, Nizina, and the Chitna rivers. Then we flew back and had some great views of the Kennicott and Root glaciers. Monday--we drove!
