GLENN HWY TO VALDEZ

July 11 - 13, 2016

 Gorgeous drive to Valdez through Keystone Canyon, with 2 beautiful waterfalls.  
Bridal Veil Falls


Horsetail Falls




















 We stopped at a fish hatchery where hundreds of salmon were trying to fight their way through the weir to spawn upstream.  The seagulls, eagles, sea lions were there for the feast.  I guess we missed a bear by just a few hours.  

This eagle decided to take his lunch up into a tree to eat in peace.  
This is a replica of a fish wheel used by native people for centuries. Modern ones are still being used today and can be seen in the rivers along the highway.  In the background is a cache, used to store food and supplies along the trail.  I still think an industrious bear could get in.
