Wrangell Mountain Air

Today’s photo comes from our journey out of McCarthy. On the prior day, we flew into McCarthy on the plane out my window in this picture.

West Kennecott Glacier Trail

We started watching “Edge of Alaska” a few nights ago. Wow! Highly recommended if you are going to McCarthy or have visited there before. We actually got to see one of Neil Darish’s outbursts while we there but didn’t know that he was sort of famous at the time.

Ma Johnson’s Hotel (McCarthy, Alaska)

Built 100 years before this photo was taken, Ma Johnson’s Hotel is where we stayed last month for a night. Interesting, to say the least.

I’m currently reading Cold Mountain Path, a book I highly recommend BEFORE (or during) a trip to McCarthy or Cordova.
