Meares Glacier Tour
The day after kayaking Columbia Glacier, I returned to Prince William Sound aboard the Stan Stephens 26 Glaciers Cruise. Meares Glacier, whales, puffins, bald eagles, sea lions, waterfalls, and unforgettable conversations made this one of the highlights of my Alaska adventure.
Thompson Pass into Valdez
Forty miles from Valdez on the Richardson Highway — walking up to Worthington Glacier, watching helicopter pilots train long-line loads over Thompson Pass, descending through fog, ice fields, and waterfalls, and booking a kayak trip to Columbia Glacier on Prince William Sound. One of the most spectacular drives in Alaska.
