This
morning’s view of Kennicott Glacier was even better than yesterday afternoon’s.
We caught the
shuttle down to the pedestrian bridge and crossed the Kennicott River.
The McCarthy
road was much drier on our return trip, so we snapped a few more photos at the
Kuskalna River bridge crossing and also at some other points along the Copper River.
Up near
Thompson Pass on the Richardson Highway, we hit some road repair delays (part of the road had washed out) and then spent a couple of hours hiking near
the Worthington Glacier.
We got views from above (reached by a most vertiginous trail on a ridge of moraine).
We got views
from right at the toe, where large blocks of ice have separated from the main
body of the glacier.
And, views of
the glacial melt water cascading down the valley.
We pulled
into Valdez at about 5:30PM, did some laundry, had some dinner, typed some
notes, and prepared for our cruise tomorrow.
Next: Glacier
cruise
