Prince William Sound: Kayaking trip to Columbia Glacier 🧊
You will know Valdez and Prince William Sound from the Exxon Valdez oil spill 1989, where 11 million gallons of oil ran aground Prince William Sound. I was told 10% of that is still around 30 years later… the area is just beautiful with sea otters and sea lions and wild salmon and many more animals around. And one of the fastest retreating glaciers: Columbia Glacier. I did a full day kayaking trip with Pangaea and it was one of the highlights of my trip:
Denali Highway to Valdez
There are only a few highways in Alaska and Denali Highway, leading from Denali National Park / Cantwell to Paxson, is probably the prettiest one. “The Denali Highway is certainly one of the most spectacular drives in the world. Much of the route lies above timberline, so the vistas go on forever. The mountains and glaciers of the Alaska Range form a majestic backdrop, with miles of rolling tundra punctuated by shallow lakes in between.”
