The Wildland Glacier Tour delivers glaciers in all shapes and sizes. Highlights include the largest accessible glacier in Alaska, Wrangell St. Elias National Park, Valdez, and Prince William Sound.

Day 2:
Scenic drive to Wrangell St. Elias National Park. Our destination within the park is McCarthy, near the Kennecott copper mines. En route we’ll stop along the famous Alaska Pipeline, cross the mighty Copper River and travel the old railway path to McCarthy.
We’ll camp at the end of the unpaved McCarthy Road near the Kennicott River. A short walk across a footbridge brings us into McCarthy and, 4 miles up the hill (shuttle services available), the old town of Kennicott. The turn of the century architecture of the copper mills in Kennicott is impressive even by today’s standards.
