Nice Day in Valdez

It was a nice sunny, warm day in Valdez. We went down to the city, but there really wasn't much to do. The big tourist attraction is your boats to see more glaciers and fishing charters. We were not interested in either of those. We basically came back to the campground and enjoyed the sun and the surrounding mountains.

We also finalized our plans for leaving Alaska. With all of the forest fires we decided that we will be heading out of Alaska.  Tomorrow we start a 700 mile trip to Haines. On Monday we leave Haines on a ferry to Juneau. We will be staying a few days in Juneau, then taking the ferry to Prince Rupert, British Columbia.

We spotted a marmot down by the Valdez harbor. 

We went to a city park.  The glacier in the left corner is the Valdez Glacier

This is the lake from the Valdez Glacier.  There are lots of icebergs floating in it.

Seeing a lot of dead salmon which happens after they spawn
