COPPER RIVER VALLEY

Alaska is such a great place. I lived in Valdez for 4 years and liked it okay enough. But the real fun was "up country" in the Copper River Valley and in places like Chitina and McCarthy and Thompson Pass. It's a place where people fish and drink cheap beer all night by a campfire. It's a place with 25 acre homestead lots 2 and a half miles down a jeep track. It's a place to fill up the truck with firewood from the Spruce Bark Beetle kill. You can catch grayling on ultra light tackle or fight a king salmon for 45 minutes. Bush pilots, dog mushers and the usual cast of Alaskan characters are common and in their natural habitat - Alaska's Copper River Valley!... For the best KING SALMON fishing in the world, the best HIKING, best HUNTING, best SIGHTSEEING, the best WILDLIFE, the best WIDE OPEN SPACES, the best GENUINE ALASKA, the best ROADHOUSES (real Alaska Roadhouses with their friendly service and Alaska-style down-home cookin'), the best of EVERYTHING for the Adventurer that doesn't..
