I wanted to stay in the center of the park but the money and time involved met leaving something out on our two week trip. You might as well try to see Europe in 2 weeks as Alaska. Kennicott was amazing, and to think of all that being transported in and built in the wilderness 100 years ago is staggering. I hiked up to the Bonanza Mine, a gain of nearly 4,000 feet. I did collect a small (2 inch by 1 inch) piece of copper ore at the top. I know you are not supposed to, but I worked hard to get up there and given the millions of tons of ore extracted, it seemed small enough.
