The Valdez-Trail (Copper Bluff Segment) is an historic early trail in southern Alaska. It is a section of unpaved roadway, eight to ten feet in width, that extends roughly northward from milepost 106.5 of the Richardson Highway, between Copper Center and Glennallen. It is a rare surviving segment of the original Valdez Trail, the first major road built in Alaska, which extends 700 miles (1,100 km) from Valdez into the Alaskan interior. This segment was constructed in 1900 by the Alaska Road Commission, and is now within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
