This was once a railroad trestle but is now a highway bridge. The road to Wrangle-St. Elias National Park in Alaska, the McCarthy Road, is 59 miles of tough: gravel, ruts, holes, mud, and often very dusty. Part way to your goal, you come across the Kuskulana Bridge and find a short, smooth passage over a spectacular river valley. You cannot stop on the bridge but you can park on either end and walk across 240 feet over the gorge. Built for the Northwestern Railway, this track, now road, was once used to haul copper ore from the Kennecott Mines.
