• Åpning

  Scheduled Chitina-McCarthy flights

  15. mai – 15. sep · vanligvisSommersesongen åpnerBestill tidlig

  Wrangell Mountain Air runs three scheduled flights a day between Chitina and the McCarthy airstrip from mid-May to mid-September; outside that window the same 25-minute hop over the Chitina river bars is charter-only. It's how most visitors reach Kennecott and the glaciers without driving the McCarthy Road. Kilde ↗

• Sesong

  Kennecott summer season

  23. mai – 13. sep · vanligvisStisesong

  The Kennecott Visitor Center and the Slana and Copper Center ranger stations are staffed only from late May to mid-September, which is also the window for any ranger-led mill town tours and guided access to Root Glacier. Outside it, the largest national park in the country runs on self-sufficiency. Kilde ↗

  Northern lights season

  25. aug – 15. apr · vanligvisNordlys

  Once the nights darken at the end of August the aurora can show over the park until April; the catch is that lodges, flights and visitor centres close by late September, so early autumn is the practical window. Kilde ↗

  Autumn colour on the tundra

  25. aug – 20. sep · vanligvis

  Fall reaches the park by late August, turning the tundra red and the aspen and birch gold along the McCarthy and Nabesna roads into mid-September, just as the summer services wind down. Kilde ↗

  Alaska DOT stops grading and plowing the 60-mile gravel McCarthy Road on 1 October and doesn't reopen it for the season until around early May, though crews may clear it sporadically just to reach the McCarthy airstrip. McCarthy and Kennecott's lodges and the park's own visitor centers close for the same months. Kilde ↗
