Left Chitina on the way to Valdez. We decided to stay in a state campground on the pass above Valdez. It was advertised as one of the prettiest campgrounds in the state and it was. Above timberline with fantastic views. It is clear today so we can see the mountains. We drive into Valdez after setting up camp. What a beautiful setting for a town. Awesome is the only word. Glaciated mountains all around. In my mind it is what an Alaskan town should be. If only it didn't get 25 feet on snow on average each year. We stopped at a ranger station and found out some things to do and watched fish spawn the drove home for dinner and bed
