The Simonos invited us to spend Fourth of July weekend with them at Kennecott, in the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Kennecott was the company town that served the copper mine. When the mine closed, everyone walked away from the town. It's now a national park, largely intact.
Current access is by a 60-mile gravel road that ends at a foot bridge a few miles from McCarthy and Kennecott. Various businesses run shuttles from the other end of the footbridge into town.
