Looks amazing. 

Have you been before?

No, but on a hot day like today I like to contemplate being here:

Days 8–9: McCarthy Pecold

DRIVE TIME: 7 HOURS 45 MINUTES Yes, it’s a long drive, and the last 60 miles are over rough road through Wrangell–St. Elias National Park. But you arrive in America’s last great frontier: a Switzerland-size stretch of mountainous forest. Join Kennicott Wilderness Guides for pack-rafting lessons (from $165 per person), feast on local Red Angus beef at the McCarthy Lodge, and crash at Ma Johnson’s Hotel (doubles, $189 per night). 

Vegetarians get snow cones.

Is it still snowy there in July?

That looks like a glacier they're standing on.
