Cordova, AK

united states

Cordova is Alaska's most isolated road-accessible community, reached only by flying into Merle K. Smith Airport about 12 miles from downtown. The scenic Copper River Highway runs 48 miles from town to the Million Dollar Bridge, dead-ending at this historic span over the Copper River Delta. No roads connect Cordova to the rest of Alaska's highway system, making it a true end-of-the-road destination famous for its world-class salmon fishing.
