Valdez

Valdez is a place that the drive in is worth the price of admission. We left Denali Park yesterday morning and drove across the Glenn Highway, staying last night at Little Nelchina Recreation Site, a no fee, no services,no other campers, wonderful spot on the Nelchina River. This morning as the sky finally cleared for awhile we drove down the Richardson Highway over Thompson Pass into Valdez. the views were absolutely breathtaking the whole way. Below is a sampling.

















































Valdez is a very busy fishing harbor, both sport and commercial, with boats like these going in and out every few minutes.
