Thanks for sharing your adventure on the McCarthy Road and Root Glacier. Four days after your drive (June 02), a small earthquake broke the McCarthy Road just east of Chitina. That break delayed our van excursion by an hour on the outbound in the morning. On the return trip, our experienced driver left the van on the eastern side of the break, we walked carefully through the broken pavement, and another van spirited us late to our lodge. It took several days for the road to open fully. Here's hoping that the unsettled Alaskan landscape treated you good folks well.
There was a tv show called Edge of Alaska. Was about the people that live in McCarthy. Also the Adventures of A+K on RUclips spent a summer in Alaska and did a great job documenting the area!
Nice to see a little of that area again. I dig some video production work for that park service there. The has not needed any rebuild done yet in 1995. The Glacier have gone way back since then. Odd how the road shifted , along with the melt off there might have been a quake to get liquidation. I doing even remember that single lane bridge, that’s fun.
We did that road in 2000 when it was just a railroad bed with the rails pulled out, Had a flat tire from a rail spike. Today it is 100x's better
Looks very interesting.

Surprising how it looks … so glad you filmed this for us to view!
Your footage is always amazing!!
Next time stop in to McCarthy - you made it just to the EDGE of McCarthy!!! About 500' further and the little town from the TV Show is there...
Awesome journey. Alaska is the one place I am not sure I would leave.
Really great video! Im sure it is much grandeur in person!
Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your journey!
