See the dramatic, expansive nature of Wrangell-St. Elias on a truly unique adventure with Copper River Excursions - voted "Best Tour Experience" (2007) by Princess Tour customers at the Copper Princess Wilderness Lodge. Travel 32 miles on three glacier-fed rivers, with Alaskan-born and raised guides.
You'll see lots on this 3-hour trip, including a subsistence fishwheel reeling in a salmon. Gaze up at the snow-capped peaks all around you, but don't ignore the shoreline and the trees, where you might see moose, brown and black bear, otter, and bald eagles. Listen to a presentation on native Athabascan crafts that were made here for thousands of years.
Take a short break and disembark onto Athabascan land for a walkabout through the remains of a prospector's camp that dates to 1898 and was part of the Klondike Gold Rush. Pan for gold-and keep what you find-and see what salmon dip-netting is all about. Don't forget your camera as your final destination is the Historical Town of Copper Center.
