Valdez Alaska Community Page – Alaska Marine Highway System
Valdez
Valdez is the southern terminus of the Alaska Pipeline and is
located in the South Central region of Alaska, 300 miles southeast
of Anchorage and 360 miles south of Fairbanks. 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. Visit valdezalaska.org
for information.
Summer activities for all experience levels include hiking
to cascading waterfalls, kayaking and cruising the fjords of
Prince William Sound. A winter playground with snowboarding,
skiing, snowmachining, snowshoeing, and ice climbing. Valdez
boasts the State of Alaska’s oldest fishing derby with over
$80,000 in cash and prizes awarded annually. Rich in history,
Valdez museums invite you to learn about the past and present,
enjoy rotating exhibits and view amazing Alaska Native art.
