    Tips

    September 22, 2023

    A small town that formed alongside the Kennecott Mine and Mill site, five miles away. McCarthy flourished during the copper mining boom, and played a part in the railroad infrastructure that shipped the copper ore to Tacoma, WA for processing. After a decline in the mid-to-late-1900s, McCarthy has been revived to serve the tourists visiting Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The town has restaurants and several air taxi and guiding companies.
