Valdez to McArthy & Wrangell-St.Elias Park

What an amazing past 24hr! We left Kenai and via the ferry from Whittier we crossed the Prince William sound- the highlight sight being a “Galloping Glacier” that was retreating at a rapid 30 feet per day! The result is the icebergs you see in photos of the sound http://alaskaexplosion.com/media/prince-william-sound/

After an entertaining night in Valdez- we hit the road again on the Richardson Highway passing amazing waterfalls, peaks and glaciers. Cloudy and foggy weather gave the landscape a mystic feel- but just as breathtaking- temperature is around 52F. Wr are feeling plenty warm unless Amy wanders too far near the ice during our countless photo stops.

We are now filling up at the last gas station before McArthy and Wrangell-St. Elias park. Looking forward to some outdoor activities after we get in tomorrow- especially the rafting!
