We welcome the Lonely Planet film crew this summer. Look for a National Geographic public TV special soon.
Many say we don't need to be discovered. A wilderness community under glaciers with history and a wild summer scene. If you like mountains, climbing, mountain biking or just hiking, this is a unique spot.
We also have a social scene, including live music in nearby McCarthy, National Park service sponsored educational events, glacier guides, flight seeing, nature walks, and the ideal setting for a yoga retreat at the Kennecott Rec Hall.
If you come, be sure to be prepared, there aren't many services, you can't drive all the way there (van/shuttle for last 5 miles) it is a walk around ghost town, and the nearest full service grocery store is about 150 miles away. If that kind of adventure sounds good, look us up.

An author for the Lonely Planet travel series has claimed that he plagiarised and made up large sections of his books, an Australian newspaper reports today. Writer Thomas Kohnstamm said in one case he had not even visited the country he wrote about. More than 6 million copies of the guidebooks are sold every year, of which he has penned more than 10: on Brazil, Colombia, the Caribbean, South America, Venezuela and Chile. In admissions which look largely set to publicise a forthcoming book of his own, Kohnstamm also claims that he accepted free travel, contravening Lonely Planet policy. When writing his guide to Columbia, Kohnstamm reportedly stayed at his San Francisco home and pasted together the information - ironically he has also written a book entitled 'Don't Let the World Pass You By! 52 Reasons to Have a Passport'.
