Tonight we are in Valdez, AK after coming down the Tok Cutoff and the Richardson Hwy. Yesterday we were on long valleys with the Wrangle Mts to our West and North and today we took a pass with the Wrangle Mountains to our South and East.
To me this the Richardson Hwy from Glenallen to Valdez is of the most spectacular roads in AK. You wind thru steep sometimes narrow passes and there are waterfalls and glaciers litterally at the side of the road.
We stopped at the glacier and walked part way to it but did not stay long.
Next you view the Billy Mitchell Mtn in front of you with the Bridal Falls and the Horsehair falls on your sides.
We are now in Valdez in the Bear Paw Campground with Prince William Sound at our front window (we are facing the harbor entrance and can look over at the Chugach Mtns on the other side of the Sound with their snow caps and glaciers. Boats continually go in and out of the harbor in front of us.
Well time for some sleep.
