Just past the town of Chitna in route to end of the road town of McCarthy. The glacier fed Chitna River is classic braided stream, with many dividing and reuniting channels. It parallels the McCarthy road most of the it's way until the road heads north into the Nizana watershed, ending at the Kennicott River in McCarthy. The roadway follows the old railroad bed of the The Copper River and Northwestern, or C.R. & N.W. Railway, also known when it was being built around 1910 as the 'Can't Run and Never Will'. Despite obstacles, the C.R. & N. W. did successfully serve the Kennicott copper mining area until 1938. Although only 60 miles in length, the gravel and dirt road can easily take three hours or more to decrease chances of tires impaled on old railroad spikes, other vehicle damage, and washboard compressed neck and spine.
