Welcome to Valdez

We had a lovely ride to Valdez yesterday..we had great views of the Worthington Glacier...according to state rangers, this is the most visited site in the Copper River Valley. A paved path leads to Glacier viewpoints and warnings about not approaching the Glacier due to falling ice is clearly marked. This is a National Natural Landmark.
We also saw water cascading down the steep hillsides of Keystone Canyon...here is a picture of the Horsetail Falls.
After settling in at our campground, we took a walk down to the harbor and watched the fishermen return with their catch. We had beautiful views of the mountains as a backdrop.
Tomorrow we are taking a 6 hour Columbia Glacier cruise...hopefully the weather will cooperate and I will have more pictures to share.
