You can pitch a tent or park your RV at a nearby campground. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or both, doesn't matter, around here you'll find a large number of good spots. Whitewater paddling here in the Chugach Mountains is a great experience. The wonderful Valdez-Cordova Census Area Borough scenery and the
    cool fresh water make the trip here worthwhile. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside Alaska you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so keep in mind that a large number of rivers in this state are not easy. This section is long enough to enjoy a
good non stop paddle, you can easily run it on an afternoon. Getting some good exercise and just being out on the river for a while have people coming from far and near. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick.
