I've spent years talking about how some day I would visit Kennecott... I wish I had planned more time to spend there. I could have easily spent two or three days exploring the area. It is worth making the drive! They grade the road 3 times per year, once right before Memorial Day, once in mid summer, and once in early fall. If you plan your trip around those times, the road isn't so bad. Otherwise, prepare to drive over washboard. An absolute must see! Take the the mill tour it is worth the cost! A really cool piece of history and impressive structure! Fantastic example of what the NPS can do. Historic mining town in various states of preservation. Everyone is either returning from or about to head out into the surrounding wilderness (usually, with their dogs). Activities range from free ranger lead or self guided tours of the town to week long fly-in hiking and rafting trip. The road to get there is a very well maintained dirt road. Don't be afraid of it, if you are familiar with dirt roads. It definitely takes some time to get here, but I hope they never pave that road. Two or three hours on a dirt road helps you get some perspective on the remoteness. This is a nice place Such interesting history, and incredible buildings. Make sure to make it up to Kennecott when you visit the area
