Northwest Copper Valley / Upper Susitna

Anyone here have any pictures of the Northwest Copper Valley / Upper Susitna? I am planning a hunting trip up near where the Paxson - Denali cutoff is and would like any recon of the area I can get. I have flown it before but forgot to take pictures.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

Re: Northwest Copper Valley / Upper Susitna

I don't have any digital pictures of that area (it's been that long), but you can get a ton of pictures if you google "Tangle Lakes Alaska". Tangle Lakes is at the eastern end of the Denali road, but many of the google hits and pictures capture the whole area that you are interested in. Great place for Caribou/Moose hunting and a lot of places to fish for trout and grayling.

Thanks, that was what I was looking for. Just land in the gravel bars I assume, right?
