The crashing glaciers of Prince William Sound and towering Chugach Mountains rising from the sea make Valdez absolutely picturesque. The plentiful activities in both summer and winter, and a connection to the scenic Richardson Highway (Alaska's first highway), makes Valdez an ideal destination for travelers with vehicles.
