Cordova is a hidden gem in the midst of lofty peaks located on eastern Prince William Sound. The Copper River Delta, home to millions of migratory waterfowl during spring migration, and the Copper River's prized King salmon have put the City of Cordova on the map. Commercial fishing has been the mainstay for the city over the past several decades. Wild river rafting, bus tours, kayaking and canoeing, charter boats for deep sea fishing or sightseeing, and flightseeing excursions are only a few of the activities provided by local operators.

The Copper River Highway takes you through the largest continuous wetland area on the Pacific coast of North America. At the road's end discover one of Alaska's most spectacular calving glaciers and the historical Million Dollar Bridge. Many side roads are worthy of exploring; wildlife abounds and the backdrop views of the Chugach Range will keep any photographer happy. And 35 miles of U.S. Forest Service trails take visitors into backcountry that is truly breathtaking.
