About the Port
Set at the gateway to Wrangell-St. Elias, the nation's largest national park, this wilderness lodge overlooks the confluence of glacier-fed rivers and the rise of Mt. Drum, Mt. Wrangell, and Mt. Blackburn. The surrounding Copper River Valley holds deep Native Alaskan heritage and is renowned for its red salmon runs, drawing anglers and naturalists alike to its remote, forested terrain.
Days here unfold at an unhurried pace, with time to walk the Klutina Lake Trail or arrange excursions deeper into the park's glaciers and peaks. Evenings bring a quiet dinner at the property's own restaurant, where the mountain views linger into dusk. Reaching the lodge involves a lengthy overland transfer, making it a rewarding stop for those seeking Alaska's interior wilderness beyond the coastal ports.
