Cordova, Alaska

We saw lots of swans along the dirt road out to Child's Glacier.

Child's Glacier is so amazing. The terminus of the Glacier is at the Copper River. You can sit on benches on the opposite side of the river and watch and listen to the glacier calf. The Glacier is located about 50 miles down a dirt road. But so worth the drive out there. There is so much to see along the way.

This is the Million Dollar Bridge. It was built as a train bridge to transport copper from Kennicott Mine in 1910. The Kennicott Mine shut down in 1938 and the bridge was no longer used. It fell into the Copper River in the 1964 earthquake. It was raised to its original position in 2003. You can now drive over it, but it goes nowhere....there is about 2 miles of dirt road on the other side but that is all. Got to love Alaska's bridges to nowhere.

I thought this heart reflection was so cool.

I caught this pink(below)...but we caught lots of silvers too....just had to leave the camera on the bank in fear of getting it wet...and we practiced catch and release for the most part...and not too mention all the fish i hooked and fought but lost just as i got them to shore. But it was a great time!

Rafts of Otters everywhere! They put on a great show for us! (below)

This is a must do trip. What an awesome town. And be sure and climb up Ski Hill, the hike is awesome all the way up. Twisted trees and small alpine ponds everywhere as the trails winds thru the woods with great switchbacks.
