Ferry Valdez - Whittier

(sara & chrisch) To avoid driving the same route twice within a few days, we decided to take the ferry from Valdez to Whittier. The road from Kenny Lake to Valdez goes over the (name of the mountain range) and the Thompson pass. While organizing our trip, we saw pictures of the Blue Berry state park and campground and wanted to stay there for a night. However, when we arrived at the turn off to the park it was obvious that camping was not possible. The road was still full of snow and it was freezing cold up there. Our decision to drive down to Valdez was quickly made.

The five hour ferry ride was like a commercial scenic boat tour. The sky was blue and we had great views to the mountains and fjords. We saw whales, Dall’s porpoises (same family as the orca, but only a fourth the size) and cute sea otters.
