High on Alaska’s remote Mt. Wrangell, the melting ice of Copper Glacier gives birth to the legendary Copper River - a raging 300-mile river, which is home to the most anticipated, and celebrated, wild salmon run in the world. Beginning 3,600 feet above sea level, the Copper River squeezes its way through narrow canyons with walls of rock towering hundreds of feet above the river. As the Copper River forces its way downstream, it creates fast currents and powerful waves until it ultimately reaches sea level at the Copper River flats where it meets the Gulf of Alaska.
