Live ItemGlaciers and Grizzlies: Copper River Rafting Adventure in Alaska

Come float America's 8th largest river by volume and spend 7 days floating across an enormous landscape in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the Chugach National Forest. Experience what it is like to be truly humbled by the size, scale, power, and beauty of a river.
