ordova is a pretty coastal town, a fishing village built on a steep hill overlooking the harbor.

Among other things Cordova isa nice place to walk, and the local museum has good displays and a walking guide.

In the past, Cordova was a key player in upper Copper River history.

Cordova once sent supplies by rail to Kennicott, McCarthy and Chitina, which have now become "ghost towns."

The road north of Cordova now stops at what is known as "The Million Dollar Bridge," a railroad bridge badly damaged in the Earthquake.
