Valdez Family Fun

We took a fun trip over to Valdez by way of the Ferry. We started out early on Aug 23 stayed there for a few days and then headed home it was great fun!
Driving through the tunnel and then driving on to the boat.  The truck is secured below deck and we went up top to settle in for the 5 hour trip.











We pull out of port and head on our way to Valdez. It was a great time to relax, have lunch, look at some wildlife and see the amazing state we live in.











 Sea otters! but not close enough to get a good picture of them.



 Sea Lions!


 Here is Valdez and pulling into port.


We went to a really neat museum and toured around the town checking it out and looking for bears we didn't find any but had a great time. 

We went hiking on the John Hunter Memorial trail.  it goes up Solomon Gulch ending at Solomon Lake. Ryker was convinced that it was a nature trail an not a hike. It was such a pretty day.








After the hike we went to the fish hatchery. It was crazy how many salmon there were in the water.  Plus we got to see sea lions feeding on them. The seagulls would even take pieces of salmon right out of the sea lions mouths.















 On the way out of town we stopped at the Worthington Glacier. It was fun to see and a quick hike up there.


 Ryker wanted to feel how cold the water was coming from the glacier so Chris held his hand so he wouldn't fall in.



 We tried getting a good pick of us and the waterfall.


The look back down the valley from Worthington Glacier.


 Ryker marked the trail so hikers could find their way to the top.
