Day 46: Travel to Valdez, Alaska


We left Mountain View RV Park this morning headed for Bear Paw Camper Park in Valdez, Alaska. The weather was nice but chilly.

We had a nice drive - no rain- except for a few frost heaves and loose gravel.

Our first photo opt was of Matanuska Glacier. It was huge and beautiful. I cannot imagine what it would be like to wake up every morning to such a sight.

 Our next shop was the visitor center at Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. It is three times the size of Yellowstone and can only be reached by plane or by foot.

The colors and shapes of the mountains were very unusual. Several in our group saw a movie about the park.Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.


We also saw Mt. Billy Mitchell, the Worthington Glacier, Bridal Veil Falls, and Horsetail Falls.

We arrived at the campground around 4:30 and were greeted by three bunny rabbits at our sight.
