Elevation13 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe Copper River Delta spreads across a geological masterpiece shaped by millennia of sediment deposits. Tidal sloughs wind through dense alder and willow thickets, while spongy bog meadows and vegetated islands create an intricate wetland pattern at 13 feet elevation. Brown bears fish the channels for salmon. Moose browse the willows. Beavers engineer the waterways, and coyotes patrol the margins. The skies fill with shorebirds and waterfowl during migration, creating shifting clouds of wings. Each spring and fall, 20 million birds descend on the delta along the Pacific Flyway, making it one of the Western Hemisphere's most important avian habitats.

Lodging & AccommodationsThe cabin is a rustic 12x14 structure with wooden bunkbeds (no mattresses), a table, oil stove, and outdoor pit toilet.
