About Reluctant Fisherman
What to Pack for Cordova, Alaska
Cordova's weather is best described as Maritime, with its location on the shores of Prince William Sound in the northernmost temperate rainforest. Expect a fair share of precipitation, so be sure to bring waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear. Summer temperatures range from the low 50s to high 70s, so layering is essential. Don’t forget sunglasses, especially when near the water, and of course, your camera to capture the stunning scenery.

The Copper River Delta Experience
Take the 36-mile drive across the Copper River Delta, the largest wetlands in North America, for a chance to see incredible wildlife like Trumpeter Swans, Bald Eagles, Dusky Canada Geese, Brown Bears, Black Bears, Moose, and Beavers.
Though the historic Million Dollar Bridge and Childs Glacier at mile 52 are no longer accessible via the Copper River Highway, a local guide service offers ferry trips to this breathtaking glacier. From a comfortable seat just 1,200 feet away, you can witness the dramatic sight of Childs Glacier calving into the water from its towering 300-foot face.
The USFS campground at the site features copper-topped picnic areas and restroom facilities, making your visit even more enjoyable. The guide service provides an all-inclusive experience for this unforgettable adventure.
