Kennecott Mines, Alaska
Deep in Alaska’s Wrangell–St. Elias National Park, the abandoned Kennecott Mines stand as a striking monument to early 20th-century copper mining. The red wooden mill buildings cling dramatically to the mountainside, overlooking glaciers and alpine wilderness. Guided tours allow visitors to safely explore the site and learn about its rise and fall. For those seeking adventure and history in U.S. travel, Kennecott feels both surreal and captivating.
