Cordova is located on the coast of Prince William Sound and the gateway to the Copper River Delta. The town's population is 2000 and can double in size in the summer. The only way to get in and out is by ferry or airplane. The average temperature in the Wintertime is 20 degrees above 0, and 55 degrees F in the Summer. And the average rainfall is 167 inches annually.

The fish we have up here are Salmon, Halibut, Herring, Rockfish, Red Snapper, Cod, Trout, and many more. But most people come up to Alaska for the Salmon.

We also have many trails here that you can backpack or hike, and these trails will take you through part of Chugach National Forest, which is the second largest forest in the Nation. These trails range from a half of a mile to four miles long. And if you feel like taking your time, you can pick blueberries, Salmonberries, and Cranberries on, the way to your desination.

The Beauty of Alaska

 

I love walking out my front door, just to experience the beauty of Alaska, and enjoy life up here in the last Frontier. mountains, water, and many glaciers surround cordova.

Cordova has one road that goes out of town, and that is called the Copper River Highway. This road ends just past the Copper River, and The Million Dollar Bridge. They literally spent millions of Dollars on this bridge that don’t go anywhere. The Bridge was damaged in the 1964 earthquake. And they had just repaired it last year. You can also see Miles and Child’s Glacier from the road.

There are also some beautiful aurora's here; I have seen some of the most breath taking sunsets here in Cordova.

What else you find in Cordova

 

I Grizzly and Black Bears fishing for Salmon. We also have some of the record size moose here in Cordova.
Cordova is also known for the Shorebird Festival, which is usually the first weekend in May. This is when birds are migrated to the north from the south. The birds basically stay and rest or nest on the coast of Cordova.

We also have Swan and Canadian Geese that live outside of town, on the ponds. We have plenty of Bald Eagles that surround Cordova too.

There are also lots of water mammals, Orca whale, right off of the coast. The sea lions, sun tanning on the buoys. And there are lots of Sea Otters too.
