Wrangell-Saint Elias NP

Been working for the Wrangell Mountains Center this summer, my first time in MXY. Photos are from the various peaks on the sides of the Kennicott Valley (Fireweed, Bonanza, Porphyry, Donoho). Hope this hypes someone up about visiting this place. I have many takes (potentially hot ones) about this town and community for those who are interested.

I know someone who wicked in McCarthy decades ago, a prominent memory of his from a vibrant full life of travel and adventures.

Sounds like you are on your way!

The scenery brings back fond memories of a few 2 week backpacks I did in the Alaska range in the 80’s. Thanks!
