it sounds like you and my mom have the same "mileage measurements"... mom said it was just a couple mile walk from Kennicott to McCarthy... but when we got down there after a couple hours of walking we asked a local.. she said, 'it's 5 miles, and i'm impressed, i still haven't walked down'... so your 1 mile comment makes me smile!!! :)
