Activities in Our Area
McCarthy is known for the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Kennecott Historic Mines. But that is not all! We have lots of opportunities for a variety of outdoor activities. Check them out and then book your guest house with us for your entire stay. We know that you'll find lots to do here and that by the end of the day you'll be worn out. In fact, most of our guests stay for two nights and we heartily recommend that. If you make the effort to get out here, spend the extra night and really get to enjoy all that we have to offer. Call us toll free at 1-877-647-2442 or email us - currantridge@gmail.com - to make your reservations.
