2016 Season Photo Collage

As September progresses, both the temperatures and the leaves are falling, and St. Elias Alpine Guides and Copper Oar Rafting are wrapping up a fun-filled 2016 season. Tomorrow marks our last day of operation for the year, and it’s time to look back fondly on our summer adventures. Thank you to all who traveled out to McCarthy this summer and contributed to another amazing season! Here’s a photo collage of some of our favorite memories from the summer. Enjoy!
