We reached the end of the McCarthy Road at the headwaters of the Kennicott River. From here, we could look upriver and spot the Root Glacier. This area is a large glacial gravel bed (parking lot), but we camped here - and we were not alone. There is a footbridge and trail giving access to the little village of McCarthy and the historic mining town of Kennicott. There are shuttles available for a fee (well worth it, in my opinion, as we wanted to hike beyond Kennicott, and we arrived late in the day.
