Twisting and cutting deeply through the Wrangell and Chugach mountains, it's 300 mile stretch of pristine glacier-fed waters are riddled by hundreds of rapids. It is the 10th largest river in the United States, as ranked by average discharge volume at its mouth. Every May, around the 15th, the first salmon of the season return to the rivers and streams of Alaska with the Copper River being one of the first. King, Sockeye, and Silver salmon embark on long journeys up the Copper River to spawn and lay their eggs. As salmon begin their last journey up this home stretch and prepare to mate, their feeding habits diminish. Because the Copper River salmon's journey is so long, they must store extra fat and oils in order to survive the long trip. This high fat and oil content is why Copper River salmon are recognized as some of the world's best eating salmon. Copper River salmon are bright silvery salmon with a bright red flesh, a firm texture, and a rich flavor that makes them a very delicious dining experience whose popularity is rapidly growing.   Copper River   Gulkana Airport, approx 38 miles from the property Gulkana Airport is a public airport, located in the Copper River basin 2 miles west of the river, 5 miles northeast of Glennallen and 9 miles south of the village of Gulkana.

The Chugach, Wrangell, and Saint Elias ranges converge in the park in what is often referred to as the "mountain kingdom of North America." The largest unit of the National Park System, this spectacular wilderness includes the continent's largest assemblage of glaciers, and greatest collection of peaks above 16,000 feet, including 18,008’ Mount St. Elias, the second highest peak in the United States.   Incredible. You must see Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve to believe it. Number and scale loom large here, magnified by splendid isolation. The largest U.S. national park, it equals six Yellowstones, with peaks upon peaks and glaciers after glaciers. Follow any braided river or stream to its source and you will find either a receding, advancing, or tidewater glacier. The park lets you sample representative Alaska wildlife as well as historic mining sites. Hike its mountains, float its rivers, ski its glaciers, or fly over this landscape and you witness living geology. You sense discovery, the feeling you might be the first to see such sights. The peaks’ sheer numbers quickly quell your urge to learn their names. Just settle back and appreciate their beauty, mass, and rugged grandeur. That roads are few means many travelers will not enter the park itself, but major peaks – Blackburn, Sanford, Drum, and Wrangell – are seen from nearby highways. Or position yourself in one spot and watch sun, clouds, and storms play hide and seek with single peaks or ridges. Watch moods change by the minute here. Four major mountain ranges meet in the park, which includes nine of the 16 highest peaks in the United States. The Wrangells huddle in the northern interior. The Chugach guard the southern coast. The Saint Elias Mountains rise abruptly from the Gulf of Alaska to thrust northward past the Chugach on toward the Wrangells. The eastern end of the Alaska Range-mapped as the Nutzotin and Mentasta mountains-forms part of the preserve’s northern boundary.     Paxson Lake Campground, Gulkana National Wild River Paxson Lake Campground is located approx 95 miles from the property, adjacent to Paxson Lake at Milepost 175 on the Richardson Highway.

Paxson Lake Campground is the put-in point for many rafters and canoeist that float the Gulkana National Wild River.             Worthington Glacier   The Worthington Glacier State Recreation Site, located in the Chugach Mountains, is easily accessible and features a short trail that leads directly to the blue ice of the glacier. High alpine tundra, hanging glaciers and a spectacular view of the grand valley make this an excellent area for photography. It is too dangerous to walk on the ice, but visitors can explore cracks and pools at the glacier terminus and follow the maintained trails to several viewing areas. Worthington Glacier, which covers an area of about eight square kilometers (almost 5 square miles), also serves as the object of an extensive research project funded by the National Science Foundation. The project aims at improving the understanding of glacier flow through detailed, three-dimensional measurements. Worthington Glacier serves this purpose well because it is actively moving. In the warmest time of the summer it flows, on average, more than 22 feet per month. The glacier descends from Girls Mountain, passing within a few feet of the parking lot and viewing shelter. Located near Thompson Pass, the snowiest place in Alaska, Worthington Glacier receives a significant amount of snow in the winter. In the 1990s, the upper areas of Worthington Glacier became a movie setting for Steven Seagal's film "On Dangerous Ground."         Valdez Situated at the head of a deep, stillwater fjord in the northeast section of Prince William Sound, Valdez is surrounded by the Chugach Mountains.
