Copper Oar:rafting in McCarthy Alaska

After eating, you will have several miles of calmber water to digest and relax before entering the impressively narrow Nizina Canyon. Here towering walls form tight  corners and create powerful currents that spin and twist their way down river.  In this stretch we feel the true isolation of Wrangell St. Elias. We may also  spot wildlife here, including falcons that in years past have nested in the  cliffs. When the Nizina reaches the mighty Chitina river we pull ashore and  salute an amazing float trip.

But,  the adventure is not yet over! We gather on a riverside gravel bar and meet our  Alaska bush pilot for a spectacular 30-minute flightseeing trip up to and around the glaciers from where we started. The trip ends with a touchdown on  the dirt airstrip in McCarthy. These trips launch every day.
