Copper Oar Inuit Poem and Alaska Photos

This two-page poem and photo feature is part of the older Copper River Valley section of AlaskaGold. It pairs an Inuit song with glacier and wilderness images from the McCarthy area, where rafting, flightseeing, mining history, and Wrangell-St. Elias scenery all meet.

Copper Oar Wilderness Rafting operated from McCarthy, Alaska, near the Kennicott River and the road into Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. The short poem remains here as a quiet travel note for readers browsing Copper River Valley stories, photos, and outdoor links.

For more context, continue from this page into the McCarthy and Kennicott guides, the Copper River Valley photo tour, and the articles about flightseeing, rafting, glaciers, and historic mining routes in this part of Alaska.

     

And I thought over again
my small adventures
As with a shore - wind I
drifted out
In my boat
And I thought I was in danger,

My fears
Those small ones
that I thought so big
For all the vital things
I had to get and reach.Forward
