Alaska Rafting Trips - Alaska Rafting on the Copper River

Wrangell Raft Trip

Guided Alaska Rafting
Wrangell St. Elias National Park

The Wrangell St. Elias National Park offers many incredible rafting trips. One our favorites is the mighty Copper River that flows through the Chugach mountain range. Its an exceptional river to float. For centuries the towering Chugach and St. Elias mountains have created the largest ice fields in Alaska which in turn carved out a world that defies the imagination!

Rafing the Copper River

When you go rafting on the Copper River you'll experience one of the most unique rafting trips we know of. Highlights include two calving glaciers sending massive blocks of ice dircectly into the river! Definately our favorite glaciers in Alaska. You'll also have the opportunity to go hiking on one of the glaciers. Huge salmon runs in the Copper river attract harbor seals up to 100 miles upstream and the nesting bald eagles can be found throughout the float. You'll explore 100 miles of pristine, roadless wilderness before arriving at our take out near the community of Cordova, a small fishing town located on the shores of Prince William Sound. We'll also explore the amazing Copper river delta which is home to astonishing numbers of birds, especially trumpeter and tundra swans.
Options
Options include touring the turn of the century mining town of McCarthy and the Kenicott Mines, one of the greatest engineering feats of the early 1900's. From McCarthy we can raft several tributaries of the Copper river to extend the rafting trip to 10 to 12 days and include some white water rafting as well. We can also combine a fly in wildernss hike with your rafting trip. We explore several amazing alpine plateaus and offer over a dozen trips into the backcountry for hiking.

You can also choose to combine an incredible sea kayaking trip in Prince William Sound with your rafting trip. After we arrive in Cordova we'll swap the raft for kayaks and paddle to Valdez exploring many beautiful fjords along the way. Optional lodging arrangements can be made on the sea kayaking portion including remote lodges and private yachts.
