the road to McCarthy is an old railroad grade which led from Cordova on the coast to the coppermines of kennecott. the mine closed one day in 1938, in 1944 they pulled out the tracks w/o the sleepers and spikes. that's the road. those 60 miles took 4 hours to drive in the 1990's. improvements had been done in the meantime and 2-3 hours is now the travel time. crossing and passing old relicts such as an abandoned wood trestle bridge it's a journey into the past.
