Getting There |
 |
| |
Although you can view the park's mountains from along the Richardson Highway, Glenn Highway, and Edgerton Highway, there are only two gravel roads that actually enter the park. The Nabesna Road (42 miles long) begins at Slana and offers spectacular scenery and access to a seldom seen, wild corner of Alaska. The McCarthy Road (60 miles long) begins at Chitina, follows an old railbed, and ends at the historic communities of McCarthy and Kennecott. This road provides access to great hiking, fishing, and camping. |
