TRUCK CAMPER LIFE: From REINDEER to SALMON and SEA LIONS in VALDEZ, ALASKA// CtW S1:E34
#Valdez #4x4Camper
Valdez, Alaska is one of the best places to view wildlife in all of Alaska! From salmon rushing the river at Solomon Gulch to the sea lions, otters and bald eagles that feast upon them there is no shortage of wildlife in the area.
If you are fortunate you may even have the opportunity to watch a grizzly or two run down from the hills and make a meal of the salmon.
Valdez is most associated with the 1989 oil spill of the Exxon Valdez tanker in the Prince WIlliam Sound nearby. And, as the southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, Valdez as a town is quite industrial.
However Valdez does have the quaint look and feel of a quiet Alaska town. And if you venture out to Solomon Gulch you are bound to be impressed by the wildlife. There is a glacier nearby, great for views as well as for camping.
And, fortunately for us, there was a NAPA auto parts store (yes, another breakdown!).
Because Valdez is located on an "out and back" drive from the main highway in Alaska it is possible (and encouraged) to stop in the town of Palmer on your way to/from Valdez.
Palmer plays host to the Williams Reindeer Farm. Here you can get up close and personal with a few dozen reindeer!
While none of the reindeer we saw seemed to know how to fly, you could definitely hear the "click click click" for which they are known!
