On the Richardson Highway south to Valdez, you pass several places where you can spot a part of the Trans Alaskan Pipeline. Completed in 1977, it runs almost 1,300 km from th
e Arctic Ocean at
Prudhoe Bay to Valdez, in the Gulf of Alaska.
View on Gulkana Glacier from Isabel Pass
Valdez is supposed to be the "Switzerland" of Alaska. Well the drive down there was quite scenic, but Valdez itself was covered in clouds and so actually one of the nicest shots was that one, taken in the evening at the harbour.
Salmon and raspberries, both on the menu for bears. Armed with a bear deterrent pepper spray we tried to feel a little safer while following a nice path along the shore, passing all this bear goodies...
