McCarthy Road Alaska | Gravel Roads, Copper River & Kennicott Glacier Sunset

Описание: Join me as I take on one of Alaska’s most legendary backroads — the McCarthy Road. 🚐🏔️

This adventure begins with a fuel stop before I head toward Chitina, Alaska, where the pavement ends and the real adventure begins. The McCarthy Road is 60 miles of gravel, washboard bumps, and unforgettable scenery. Along the way I pass beautiful lakes, drive through Chitina, and continue onto the rough gravel road leading deep into Wrangell–St. Elias National Park.

I drive over the powerful Copper River, see historic bridges, and admire an old railroad trestle that tells the story of Alaska’s mining days. As the sun begins to set, I reach the end of the road across from McCarthy, Alaska, where I take in breathtaking views of the Kennicott Glacier glowing in the evening light.
Sharing this moment with fellow YouTube creator Onno of the YouTube channel Onno and Miem, we watch as the last daylight fades over the Alaskan wilderness while we share stories of our recent adventures.

This video ends at the footbridge to McCarthy, but the next video will pick up the following morning inside the historic town of McCarthy itself.
