Tuesday, June 7, 2016 Adventure to Worthington Glacier, Valdez, AK

Before we could get to the glacier we had to travel through Keystone Canyon.  We saw Bridal Veil Falls and Horsetail Falls.  Both of these waterfalls were beautiful.  Valdez gets over 300 inches of snow a year so of course they are going to have some wonderful waterfalls.  We saw an old railroad tunnel that was carved into the rock but never used.  We also stopped off at Blueberry Lake and there were tons of wild blueberry bushes but of course the bushes were just starting to get their leaves.  Just before we made it to the glacier Mike and I both spotted something in the bushes.  We turned around and found 2 moose!!!! Mike was excited.  This animal has been very elusive to us this whole trip. 

Worthington Glacier is one of the most accessible glaciers in Alaska and Mike and I climbed about 1 mile up to the bottom of it.  Mike and I crossed over the snow only to realize that there was running water under the snow.  We enjoyed our day out in the cool fresh air.  This place is so breathtaking that pictures can’t capture the true beauty of this place. 

At 5 pm we were back to Bayside RV Park for the Eagle feeding again. We are running into people we have met during our trip and will probably see them along our journey.
