Frequently Asked Questions
At Kelsey Dock, which puts passengers a few minutes' walk from downtown and the small-boat harbour. The town of 4,000 sits between the Chugach Mountains and the sea, at the head of an arm of Prince William Sound.
Yes. Downtown, the history museum and the waterfront walk to the harbour are all reachable on foot from the pier, on flat ground. Only boat excursions and Keystone Canyon require transport.
A boat trip to the glaciers of Prince William Sound fills half a day. Otherwise: the Valdez Museum, the harbour walk and, in season, the Solomon Gulch hatchery across the bay.
Because the 1964 Good Friday earthquake, the most powerful ever recorded in North America, devastated it. The entire town was rebuilt a few kilometres away on more stable ground. The Valdez Museum tells the story through testimony and photographs.
Columbia Glacier, about 40 kilometres away and one of the continent's largest tidewater glaciers, and Meares Glacier, one of the few still advancing. Trips run half a day or full day and almost always include sea otters and seals.
In spawning season, yes, with some luck. The Solomon Gulch hatchery across the bay draws thousands of pink salmon returning to the ponds, watched by seals and, on some days, bears drawn to the feast.
A moss-walled gorge about 20 kilometres from town on the Richardson Highway, the only road out of the valley. Bridal Veil and Horsetail falls drop tens of metres right at the roadside. The photo stop has become a classic.
The US dollar and English. Credit cards work in downtown shops and harbour restaurants.
Yes. Bald eagles above the fish-cleaning stations, sea lions between the docks and the hatchery salmon hold children's attention. The Maxine and Jesse Whitney Museum, free to enter, displays skin parkas, carved ivory and traditional kayaks.
Yes. The Mineral Creek trail, reachable a few blocks from downtown, runs into a green valley toward old mining works. It needs no transport and suits anyone who wants to walk without booking an excursion.
