Copper River Valley Overview
First |Previous Picture | Next Picture | Last | Thumbnails
This is a good overview of the Copper River Valley. You can see the
Copper (2) / Chitina river(1) confluence at Chitina.
The
Richardson Highway crosses the
Chugach mountains at Thompson Pass(4).
You can see the farming land along the Edgerton highway(3).
And in the top left corner you can see
Prince William Sound
and the port of Valdez(5).
This overview is a useful first stop before browsing the rest of the Copper River Valley photo tour. It shows how Valdez, Thompson Pass, Chitina, the Edgerton Highway, and the route toward McCarthy fit together across a large part of Southcentral Alaska.
For trip planning, pair this image with the main Copper River Valley photo tour and the Copper River Valley guide. The region rewards slow driving, weather awareness, and enough time to stop for rivers, glaciers, old mining roads, and mountain views.
The rest of the tour breaks this broad view into smaller route segments so travelers can understand each pass, river bend, and road junction before choosing where to spend more time.
