A girl I grew up with lived next to Denali National Park for nearly 20 years. She raised sled dogs and was a master seamstress. Her cabin was off the road, only accessible by snow machine or quads, and dog sled, of course! She lived a life full of adventures in the wilderness of Alaska. Last year she moved back to Washington state, she was diagnosed with a progressive neural disorder that was terminal. In April she flew to Switzerland to access the legal euthanasia program and she chose to end her amazing life. I am grateful to have been part of your story, Becky. I understand your decision, but I miss our long conversations. Rest In Peace- Becky Sather
I once drove a van full of athletes from Anchorage to WhiteHorse-1500 miles . The route went down the eastern side of the Wrangel-St. Elias mountains. Never before or since have I seen such magnificant wilderness-nearly devoid of people.
@@moobrien1747 The cities are, but even then overpopulation means something different to everyone... Every single human on earth could fit into Los Angeles standing shoulder to shoulder.
This is definitely not the last community in a National Park. The Nümü Tümpisattsi have fought for almost 100 years to maintain their community within Death Valley National Park and continue to live there today despite all of the government's hostile efforts.
I have spent a lot of time in Wrangell-St. Elias, it is wild to see it in this video. Some really good people live there and some people you will never see because they want to keep it that way. You can drive there but have multiple spare tires, the road is not 4x4 but the road base has lots of 4" and 3" rocks that beat your vehicle to death.
@@margaretakins6829 Times have changed, no doubt they could have spent the money and time to grade that road once or twice a summer. When I was going out there I would call the climbing guides and see what they wanted me to bring because they only had once a month resupply.
Well, actually, there's Wawona in Yosemite NP, which is private property, there's Wilsonia in Kings Canyon NP, which is private property. I know this because I work in both communities for these home owners as a contractor. Probably many others.
I lived and worked in Grand Canyon National Park for a couple of years. That park also has designated areas where "Native Americans" live because it was kinda their place to begin with.
@@LivingWithCognitiveDissonance There's something like 2,200 people who live/work in the Grand Canyon National Park. The Native Americans are the Havasupai...if I got that correctly.
@@panderson9561 Hi. When I was there year-round population was about 1200 inside the park. Crazy during the summertime. Winters were like a peaceful small town. With a huge ditch on the north side.
Thanks, Jeff! You are an amazing storyteller who experiences the world and the human condition firsthand and brings those of us who can’t with you. You are Steve Hartman are the main two reasons to even watch CBS News anymore.
Thank you for this video. We drove to McCarthy twice, 2011 and 2014. We retired to Utah in 2005 and live near the still operating Kennecott Mine. So fun seeing the original mine in Alaska.
Our family used to camp near McCarthy many years ago. I can remember as a kid climbing all around inside the old Kennecott mine buildings. Super dangerous to think about it now, but just one of many awesome childhood memories in AK.
This story is pretty cool but a simple Google search would have told you this isn't the last community to reside inside a national park. There's a community/town inside Yosemite National Park... Wawona, California - About 160 people live in 71 households there year round.
The South Rim of the Grand Canyon also has a large community living there, and they even have a school which services k-12. The neighborhoods of homes are located just behind (to the south of) the Mather Lodge and Backcountry Office areas.
In 2008, my son and I had the pleasure of staying here at Ma Johnson’s for two nights, and yes, bathroom down the hall, shared and yes, flying on the four passenger private plane to get there. Most beautiful, indeed. Forever memories.
The last community to reside inside a National Park? Not so. Has Moose, Wyoming evaporated? Has its own P.O.and zip code, and is wholly within Grand Teton National Park. McCarhty/Kennecott and Moose were each founded about the same time - early 1900's.
This entire story is meant to be a climate change advertisement, not reflect truth and accuracy. Bro is shocked he could walk on a glacier! Has he been living under a rock for the past 50 years? Either he’s really stupid, or he agrees to follow a really stupid script. Neither are flattering to him.
@@ak_downrange_threat7251 Hot Springs is very famously the only NP wholly within city limits. This video is more poorly researched than a fifth grade essay
Years ago we flew from Talkeetna Alaska, to base camp on Mount Denali....where we landed & took off from a glacier. We were also lucky enough to have the rare "clear day" to make this flightseeing tour. Absolutely spectacular 👍👍👍.
@@missopowers I'm not sure why you need to live "right nearby." I can read a map. The boundaries of the park do not contain the city of Hot Springs. But maybe the entire National Park Service has been drawing their maps wrong for years?
A quick fact check on the intro, Hot Springs, AR has tons of folks living inside a national park, so I'm not sure where they get that this is the only community in a park. This place does look amazing though!
Thurmond WV is in the center of our countries newest National Park. New River National Park. It is currently the smallest incorporated town in WV. And it is completely in the NP!
Anybody else remember Neil from the Discovery show about McCarthy and the people who live there in the town and off the land? Can't remember the name of it but Neil is the unofficial mayor. He has pushed hard for tourism which has been good for the town I'd say.
Last community to reside in a National Park? What about The Havasupai Tribe living inside the Grand Canyon NP? Or even the village of Peninsula, Ohio residing within Cuyahoga Valley National Park.
Thanks for the tour of this national park - as many of us probably haven't heard of it and may or may not make the trek to see it. I would have liked to see more about the "community" residing in the park, as that's what the title refers to. For example, what do they do to pay bills and continue to thrive there?
There's a great book called Cold Mountain Path about the history of McCarthy. There is a fake reality TV show called Edge of Alaska. But there some TH-cam videos about travels to the town.
We walked on the glacier back in 2015. As remote as this place is, I was shocked to have full bars 4G LTE from Verizon while standing on the ice. It's actually pretty easy to get to. There is a dirt road and you can drive pretty much any car there. th-cam.com/video/Yrshe_kV68E/w-d-xo.html
Wawona, is a small town inside of Yosemite NP. There are a few hundred private inholders, people who own private property and homes in the park. There is a elementary school, with grades K-8.
Went there in 2021. You can drive there- 6+ hours from Anchorage, despite what the video says. Its just the last mile is a walk path, unless you hire a private shuttle (almost like the local "Uber") to take you into town. Rooms are booked solid in summer, as you can imagine.
Thank you for taking me back to McCarthy and Kennicokt mine when I went wasn't touristic like is now we Stay in McCarthy and had breakfast across the street, one of my favorite places, we walk on the glacier and mine building you could go in ....it looks much cleaner but still beautiful..
I used to have a huge and still do crush on John Denver since I was knee hydro grasshopper I think it's very unfortunate for his family and all of us that he is gone but yeah
This segment really missed the mark for me (and probably could have used a fact-checker). It just barely covered the community (which is not at all the last to live in a national park, see the Timbisha Shoshone in Death Valley), and after all the discussion about the glacier melting, they missed a perfect opportunity to talk about how the melting is being driven by climate change. Instead we heard a cute anecdote about sailing on the pro-glacial lake. A serious 'Don't Look Up' moment from CBS trying to keep the impacts of the climate crisis lighthearted.
I live in Alaska and while this was a great story with awesome video, I'm shocked they did not carry bear spray! Maybe his guide had a gun (hope so). If the bear they saw was a sow with cubs, that encounter could have taken a turn for the worst.
A few yrs ago there was a reality show on about this place because the first guy he was interviewing was on that show....I cant remember the name of the show or the channel but I know that guy.
@@suesmith776 yes he was acting like he owned the town and all the buildings, etc. I looked it up the show was called Edge of Alaska and it was on Discovery Channel
The GGNRA ( Golden Gate National Recreation Area ) in San Francisco, is a national park that is self sufficient with thousands of housing units, fyi. All converted from obsolete military bases.
Love it that the main speaker was a geologist. Fascinating subject, and so important. I missed my calling 😢 Second, there are other communities inside national parks. Don't even understand the title of vid.
What about Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio ? ? ? It has a couple towns inside it, some farms, as well as a couple city and county parks, reserves and preserves. It's area runs from Akron in Summit Co. to Cleveland in Cuyahoga Co. Ohio.
Huh I’m used to some people living in a state park, there’s a couple house that got lucky and are technically not on park property. Though the road they are on goes up at stuck a steep angle to get on the main road-you have to hold your brake the whole time stopped because the car will start rolling down.
Umm what about Hot Springs AR or the many communities at Acadia NP or Sprindale in Zion NP? Beautiful park. I've never heard of this one. I will put it on my list now.
That's my favorite national Park. Cool place down a dead end road that somehow isn't too crowded. The restaurants are nice and the glacier is accessible. And if you want to drive in to town you have to pay several hundred dollars for a bridge pass. And they won't sell you one you have to walk across and hike in if you're not a local.
I had a antique plaque made of solid copper,, that had that copper mine buildings and everything you see, embossed on the plaque. When I saw the thumbnail I immediately recognized it
how interesting. and i thought the mountain miwok in yosemite were the last ones to be kicked out of a national park (which happens to also be the homeland of their forefathers, and their forefathers' fathers)
Incredible place for sure, but not 8 hours from Anchorage. Much closer to 4 - 4 1/2 hours. No need to embellish upon what is an already incredible place.
This is untrue. There are ranchers living/working inside Point Reyes National Seashore; a major conflict making it’s way to Supreme Court. On tax payers dollars

That’s right. It’s a fascinating community and they don’t even mention it. 🙄
Same with original residents in and around the Grand Canyon.
Polebridge in Glacier.
How could they survive in that heat?
We were there about a month ago. It involves driving 60 miles each way on a gravel, pot-holed road. Be sure you've got good tires. Fun place to visit.
yep tires good advice wish we hadn't neglected to bring spare tires for the trailer
Woah, that sounds like fun 😄
Uhh dude that's everywhere up here in Alaska
Canyon DeChelly (de-shay, Spanish) in Arizona has had residents within the National Park since it's inception, and continues to be so to this day.
