Even I look good here!
Can you guess what hat I'm wearing?
A shot of the Worthington Glacier.
We don't know the name of this mountain or lake, it was one of many beautiful shots coming into town.
The small boat harbor is very busy and extremely picturesque.
Valdez is 100 miles from the nearest turnoff of the highway. You drive south to the port city and once you're here, there is nothing else in the area. It isn't big enough to have cruise ships dock here. Consequently, there isn't a lot of traffic, either from tourists or Alaskans. The town itself has a population of only 4100 people and it shows.
However, they have an average annual rainfall of 64", and an average annual snowfall of 325".There are lots of waterfalls around here. They have their own Bridalveil Falls, not to be confused with the famous falls in Yosemite.
It was raining really hard when we came into town yesterday, but as you can see, today is very nice indeed. Tomorrow is forecast to be even better, but even if it is, I think we'll be going for a bike ride.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

You're right, everything looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteGoes to show, you never know what's around that next corner....
Is that a no hat selfie?
Actually Sue was taking a picture and I put my face in front of her lens. I'm wearing the Beav in that shot. That's why I'm so happy!
DeleteI would have guessed the Beaver hat, for sure!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos once again.
Are you still headed north...away from California?
We are actually heading home tomorrow. It will take a while though.
DeleteEnjoying your story !!! Tell Sue "hi"! Recovering from knee surgery yesterday.
ReplyDeleteHeal quickly. You'll need two good knees for when you girls go out drinking when we return.
DeleteSorry to hear about the knee Jill. Take care
