RVing Alaska: Free Campground in Chitina Alaska | RV LIFE
We give a comprehensive review of the Copper River Campground just outside Chitina, Alaska which provides a free parking solution near Wrangell St Elias National Park when visiting McCarthy- Kennicott. The campground is free and is popular with the locals who come here to fish the famous Copper River for reds and king salmon. Just know this is a local fishing spot only, out of state residents are not allowed to fish in this area. We stayed here a total of 4 nights while visiting the National Park and was as far as we were comfortable to take the motorhome on the Edgerton Highway.

Short flight from the small town of Chitina Alaska into the Wrangell St. Elias National Park in August 2006. The Alaska trip was my first big editing project so it's not nearly as tight as it should be.

In this episode, we leave the Tok, AK, the gateway to the amazing state of Alaska and we head down into Wrangell-St Elias National Park.
Along the way we make a couple of quick overnights is some pretty cool spots.
The first was along the Gulkana River (GPS Location: 62.267614, -145.384539). If like fishing, this would be a great spot to try and hook a King Salmon!
The second was just outside Chitina, AK at the entrance to the Wrangell-St Elias National Park, along the Copper River (GPS Location: 61.43366, -142.94404)
Then we roll into Base Camp Root Glacier and the quirky little town of McCarthy, AK.

Alaska : la dernière frontière ...
Quelques séquences représentatives d'un voyage de 5 semaines en Alaska : inside passage, South central, Fairbanks, North Slope. Un état méconnu des Etats-Unis, totalement différent des autres états, les 48 lower states dont les alaskiens sont séparés par le Canada. A faire sous forme d'auto-tour, loin des sentiers battus et des navires de croisière (quand c'est possible) qui font passer le nombre d'habitants des villes portuaires de quelques centaines à plus de trois mille ! Désolé pour la bande sonore, libre de droit pour être conforme à la législation.
Enjoy guys !

PLANNING A TRIP TO ALASKA Summer is the best time to explore Alaska. Temperatures are not a brisk and the daylight hours will be longer, so you will have more time in your day to see the state. You will need to start planning your trip at least a year in advance. Doing this will make dates and times easier to book for your adventures. Visiting Alaska in the summer does not mean that you will not get to experience a winter activity. At Seavey's IdidaRide you can experience a dog sled ride. The dogs will pull you on gravel instead of snow. You will also be able to meet some of the new dogs and learn about the sport. If you would like a little more freedom to explore, visiting Denali State Park may be a better option for you and you family rather than visiting Denali National Park. At the national park you are not allowed to drive in the park and you must rely on the bus/tour transportation with set stops through the park. While in the state park you can drive to a trail and hike different areas of the park. Anchorage is a great location to use as a central port. You can fly right into Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and drive to the surrounding areas and explore. Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve is a bit of a drive outside of Anchorage. Starting in Chitina is a 16-mile gravel path. You must be careful driving on this path. They warn you not to drive a RV on the path because if you breakdown you will not be able to get out. But you can park in Chitina and arrange a flight out of the Kennicott Glacier Lodge that will take you into the mountains. Once you are there it is stunning and you can book a different tours like a full day ice climbing tour, or a glacier walk, etc. . It is said that renting cars in Alaska is very expensive, but in reality it is not all that different then renting a car in DC. Especially if you book your rental in advance along with the rest of your trip. But a good tip would be too keep an eye on prices and if they drop rebook your rentals. BEST PLACE TO TAKE FAMILY PHOTO Nancy and her family hired a photographer to take their photo with Resurrection Bay in the background. This was a superb location with the crystal water, mountains and greenery.
FAVORITE TRAVEL GEAR Nancy and her family made multiple trips to REI before their trip to Alaska. Hiking boots were number one on their list of needed items, along with rain pants that came in handy for their time kayaking. They also made sure to wear layers during their trip so that they could shed clothes if the weather was a bit warmer.
