On to Valdez!

The move to the next stop in Valdez was great on a warm and sunny Monday.

We had some phenomenal views along the drive. Some say that Switzerland is the Valdez of Europe 🙂

And the inevitable road construction stops. The Highway Department works nonstop on the roads here in the warmer months. Not a bad place to spend a day at work!

At the top of Thompson Pass (elev. 2,805′ – it is the snowiest place in Alaska, getting an average of 500″ of snow a year) is Worthington Glacier, which you can walk to when there is less snow on the ground.

Beau thought the snow was the best!

Keystone Canyon, which is about 15 miles from Valdez, has a number of spectacular waterfalls, including Bridalveil Falls.
