Erin Kirkland covered McCarthy-Kennecott for the soon-to-be-released Alaska guidebook and takes us behind the scenes of her recent research trip. | Between 1909 and 1938 the Kennecott Copper Mines were thriving, and an entire community was built to support it. | Kennecott is located near Root Glacier, so trekking and climbing upon this river of ice is a popular activity. | | | Where great escapes happen | Local writer Darcy Rhyno leads off Lonely Planet’s latest guidebook covering the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland & Labrador “Atlantic Canada is my backyard, my playground, my home. The connection is more than family, more than familiarity. It has as much to do with the sheer variety of landscape, heritage and experience around me.” | | | | Photo credits: Kristina Kirkwood / Erin Kirkland / Agnes Lopez / Lonely Planet | | | This email was sent to you by: | Lonely Planet Publications Ltd. | 1101 Red Ventures Drive, Fort Mill, SC 29707 | | | |
