Andrew left on his birthday to head back East. Ryan took off to the field for work. So Sherrie, Milo and I headed out to McCarthy. We stopped at Gun Sight Mountain. I have driven past this mountain so many times, but had no idea how beautiful the views were from the top. Definitely fall in Alaska.
You have to drive 60 miles down a dirt road to actually get to McCarthy....but it is certainly worth the drive. Our first views....AMAZING! From McCarthy its a five mile road to get to the little town of Kennecott. Kennecott was mined for Copper back in the 40's.
Our perfect campsite....I ~heart~ car camping!
We had great weather the next couple of days as we hiked around. Cooler temps, but not much rain.
Can you see the building in the upper right? An old mining building.
Beautiful views!!
Another beautiful view!!
And another!!
And another!!
