Hoping this summer Yukie and I will be able to make it out to Kennecott Mine! 🏔️⛏️ This remote historic gem tucked deep in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is high on my Alaska bucket list. Those massive red mill buildings clinging to the mountainside tell the story of one of the richest copper mines in the world back in the early 1900s — now a preserved ghost town and National Historic Landmark right beside the Kennicott Glacier. It’s rugged, off-the-grid, and takes serious planning to reach, but that’s exactly what makes it such an incredible adventure! If we play our cards right, might be able to do some salmon dipping on the famous Copper River 🤞🤞😆🎣🤠🚗
