upon arrival at the end of the road wi set camp with a view of the wrangell-st.Elias mtns. there is only a pedestrian bridge across the river to McCarthy, kennecott and beyond. but, as bikeriders we had the privilege to cross over with our horses. so we rode into town and hitch the ponies in front of the McCarthy lodge. warming up in the saloon we the settled in the dining room, or rather stumbled into. without ordering we got served a 6 course meal of the finest order prepared by a former NYC W hotel chef!
what a treat! now, we are an 8 hours drive from anywhere in the middle of the (literally) wilderness. surrounded by glaciers, icefields, razor-sharp mountain ridges; abandoned mines; grizzlies, wolfs and moose are roaming; you get the picture...
