Well worth the interesting shuttle ride up here.
Kennecott Mines have many interesting facts listed on line. Too many to sort through here.
The shuttle ride there and back was two hours each way and at a cost of $200. I really thought that cost was extreme, until we actually did it. Given the price of fuel up here ($4.19-$4.98, Canada we paid $1.80 a liter! ) and the rough road, dust, wear and tear, etc, I ended up feeling the cost was well worth it . This gorge had a bridge over it. On the way home the driver thought it would be fun if I walked to the other side. I did and it was!
So McCarthy and Kennecott Mines are a ways apart. Our shuttle bus over the foot bridge had a driver named Dan. I asked him about how we were going to find out how to navigate the areas and he told me not to worry about it and he would show me everything. Hummmmm after a quick drive through of McCarthy and headed to Kennecott Mine I asked how to get back to McCarthy to look at shops and take pictures. He said I wasn’t going to go back to McCarthy because he said so…😳…the conversation when a bit more down hill and left me speechless to say the least. Ask me about this some day and I will fill you in. Making a long story short. Another driver told us that he didn’t like someone in McCarthy and that was why he kept people from going there…🤭…OMG. In the end, I did go to McCarthy dispite the detour.
Another fun adventure day
