McCarthy, Alaska

McCarthy anchors the southern edge of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, the largest national park in the United States. The area is a hub for trophy dall sheep, moose, and grizzly bear hunting via federally permitted concessionaires operating within the preserve. Historic Kennecott Copper Mine sits five miles up the valley. Fly-in access from Chitina or a long drive up the McCarthy Road delivers visitors into one of Alaska's most dramatic wilderness landscapes.
