Alternatively (if it's not too late), you might want to consider driving in to Chitna while you're on the way down the Richardson Hwy. headed to Valdez. This would give you the opportunity to spend a day driving in to McCarthy and then visiting the Kennicott Mine at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The old village has been, to some extent, restored by the National Park Service and is well worth the visit. And the scenery is great on the drive in from Chitna. We've done it a couple of times and never had a tire problem, taking 3+ hours each way for the drive in from Chitna. That included ample time for photo stops, etc. It's a beautiful example of Alaska's history.
