Nestled amidst the Chugach Mountains and the head of Prince William Sound, Valdez is often referred to as the "Switzerland of Alaska" due to its stunning mountainous backdrop. In September 2023, I had the immense pleasure to explore this lovely gem of an Alaskan town during a multi-day road trip with my family.
One of the best road trips in Alaska is the route from Anchorage to Valdez. This drive is like diving head-first into a natural wonderland, full of endless views and amazing wildlife. In September 2023, I had the pleasure of taking this drive with my family. I’ve heard amazing things about Valdez, and almost every Alaskan local has told me that the best way to experience Valdez is by driving there.
