Well, I found the site while searching for new gear for a trip back to Alaska hopefully next year.

I was out in the Wrangell St. Elias NP in early June helping work on a cabin. We worked hard building but did get a chance to play some, with some rafting on the Kennicott/Nezina/Chitina Rivers, and a flight seeing trip, we had hoped for some Salmon fishing on the Copper but the fish weren't quite there yet. Pics are from my fight into McCarthy and a flight seeing trip up the Kennicott Glacier towards Mt. Blackburn and then down towards the Chugach and Bagley Ice Field.

Wildlife included Moose, little Black bears, couple more Moose, Tunda Geese.

Hoping to return with some friends for kayaking around Valdez and some camping/backpacking in/around McCarthy using it as a base.
