Description: Red Hunt Travel is a Canadian adventure travel blog inspired by nature. As a travel writer, Red Hunt is dedicated to sharing stories of adventure and wildlife photography from Canada and beyond.
The Root Glacier Trail is an fantastic trail on the outskirts of Kennecott. As close, and easy, as it is to access the trail, it’s an adventure in of itself to actually get to Kennecott, Alaska!
Cut-off from the outside world for part of the year, Kennecott is one of those places where you can risk taking a wild ride by road to get to it, or take the quicker route and go by bush plane.
We took the plane route, as it was the end of the season for Kennecott, being the last visitors in town for the year (we timed our trip with the infamous Last Man Standing party).
