Exploring Prince William Sound | Whittier, Cordova & Valdez, Alaska

Описание: Join us on an unforgettable journey through Prince William Sound as we visit the coastal communities of Whittier, Cordova, and Valdez. This adventure mixes work and play — I log the roads for The Milepost, while Gary tries his luck fishing for Coho (Silver) Salmon in the nutrient-rich waters of the Sound.

From the small-town charm of Whittier, to the quiet, authentic character of Cordova, and on to the lively harbor of Valdez — each stop offers its own unique piece of Alaska. Along the way, we ride the Aurora ferry, explore stunning drives like Lake Street and the Copper River Highway, watch wildlife at the Solomon Gulch Hatchery, and take in the sights, sounds, and flavors of fall in Alaska.

Whether it’s fishing, ferry rides, or simply soaking in the beauty of Alaska’s coast, Prince William Sound has it all. Come along with us on this adventure — and see why this part of Alaska always leaves us in awe.
