A great place to fish and view wildlife! | Eagles on a glacier B. Gorrell |
Valdez is a great place to meet people from all over the world. Camping can be somewhat tight, so call ahead...it's worth it! Be sure to look into boat charters so you can try to catch "the BIG ONE." As always in Alaska, dress in layers... |
| This Sea Otter caught MORE fish than me! |
|  | Allison Point Even when you fish along the shore, such as at Allison Point, there's a GREAT opportunity to see Sea Otters, Harbor Seals, and Sea Lions. Be careful with your fishing tackle. Be sure to bring extra memory and/or batteries! |
Before you reach Valdez... Be sure to make a few stops along Keystone Canyon. There are some beautiful waterfalls there! | | |

It's nice to revisit your Valdez page...how close were you to that waterfall!! Looks like you love fishing, too--what do you do with an eel? | sourbugger Thu Mar 30, 2006 16:32 UTC
all looks a bit fishy to me | Tugboatguy Fri Nov 18, 2005 10:14 UTC
Debbie, absolutely magnifico bald eagles pic. Did you use a telephoto lens? Many bald eagles, America's national bird, can be also seen in northern Minnesota, but there aren't any glaciers there! lol Gr8 tips, too! Doug (^_^) | mrclay2000 Fri Oct 21, 2005 13:35 UTC
That is one sick-looking eel. . .I was so pumped to get to my national parks while in AK that I ignored most other destinations. . . |
