Waterfalls and a Glacier

Glennallen, Alaska – August 6, 2011

As Big Guy cruised up the mountains to Thompson Pass we traveled through Keystone Canyon.  When we passed through here before, we were in a rush to get to Valdez and didn’t take the time to enjoy the scenery.  Keystone Canyon is known for its many waterfalls.

We had also stopped at Worthington State Park before, but were in too much of a hurry to enjoy it.  This time we took the hike to the foot of the glacier.  It’s one of the few places in Alaska where one can easily hike to touch a glacier.

Once we made it over Thompson Pass the weather lifted and we could see this.

Then we took a detour off the main road to visit Copper Center.  The main highway used to go through here until the Alaska Highway Commission decided to straighten the road several years ago.  Frank really liked this camper. Now that you could take anywhere!
