      Fantastic, knowledgeable...

      Fantastic, knowledgeable guide! Beautiful scenery while out in nature and viewing the outside of the mine. Once inside the mine, requires the ability to climb down steep stairs. Lots of great support (Handrails) and you can take your time. Very informative and enjoyable.

      This tour was THE experience to not miss in Kennecot! The root glacier hike is also cool, but this mill tour is the thing to do.

      Really cool piece of Alaskan History. Highly recommended as you get to see the inside of the mill and get amazing views.
