Ma Johnson’s historic hotel in McCarthy, Alaska. Canon 5D Mark III, 24-105 f/4L IS (60mm), 1/40 sec @ f/11, ISO 200
McCarthy is a very small town located in the bowels of the Wrangell St. Elias National Park, near the old historic Kennicott copper mine. It’s a quirky town and it has the license to be so due to its remoteness and the handful of folks that chose to reside there. There is a foot bridge across the Kennicott river, for the general public to access town, which is about a one mile walk. I went there for the annual 1/2 marathon and music festival on Sept 1, 2012. There are a few historic buildings in town and vintage and dilapidated vehicles to go along. Ma Johnson’s Hotel is a great place to stay if you ever make it down there.

Does this hotel have a dining room? Years ago Jerry and I took the hand tram across the river and had the tastiest BBQ ribs ever there. I’ve remembered it ever since.
Buff,
No dining room in this little hotel, but there is a nice sitting parlor.
