McCarthy Lodge: Alaska’s 2% Touch-Wilderness – 31 Keys
Deep in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park (13.2 M acres, UNESCO site), McCarthy Lodge revives a 1900s copper ghost town into a low-volume (31-key), mid-May–mid-Sep basecamp for "secret Alaska" itineraries. Only 2% of visitors reach us—98% never will.
Why McCarthy?
• **Untouchable Exclusivity**: Authentic small-town Alaska amid the planet’s highest concentration of peaks & glaciers. Root Glacier treks (crevasses, moulins, supraglacial streams) via professional Local Guides—clients touch wilderness, we keep them safe.
• **Historic Soul + World-Class Eats**: 31 restored keys (Ma Johnson’s Hotel, Lancaster’s, Kate Kennedy House). Midnight-sun cocktails at The Golden Saloon. **Salmon & Bear** selected Nat Geo Traveler’s 2026 “50 Best Destination Restaurants” – Alaska’s sole pick.
• **Agent-Optimized Logistics**: Fly Anchorage–McCarthy (90 min) or Self Drive, or Shuttle from Anchorage or Chitina. 2–5 night all-inclusive packages, **high net commissions**, co-branded sell sheets, annual FAMs.
• **Profit Multiplier**: “Secret Alaska” upsells cruise extensions 30–40%; partners see 25%+ higher yields vs. crowded ports.
