Copper Oar

Copper Oar was founded by Howard Mozen, a McCarthy resident who has been teaching natural history through guided rafting and hiking trips in the Wrangell St- Elias National Park since 1985. Copper Oar has been shaped out of a love of sharing the beauty of this remarkable wilderness, along with a desire to explore the natural history. It is now owne... d and operated by Anya Voskresensky, Bryan Kerr, and Cody Simmons, who all came to McCarthy as guides and quickly fell in love with all the rivers, mountains, and adventures the Wrangells have to offer. Our base in McCarthy serves as the ideal starting point to explore the vast wilderness, visit the old ghost towns of McCarthy and Kennicott, and get out onto the adjacent rivers and glaciers for unique outdoor experiences. After many years of taking travelers on floating and hiking adventures, Copper Oar has created an exceptional combination of hiking, rafting, wildlife, and flightseeing packages that give our clients a well-crafted, home grown journey. We invite you to read through our itineraries and call, write or e-mail us if you have questions or would like to join us on an Alaska adventure travel tour. This institution is operated under special use permit with the Chugach National Forest.Read More
