Worthington Glacier



On the way to Valdez, we stopped off at the Worthington Glacier!




We hiked up to the base of the glacier.


Charlie and Toad are ready to hike up to where we could actually touch the glacier ice!





There were ice hikers on the top of the glacier.  Looked a bit scary to us!

There were a group of piled stones on our hike to the glacier.   If they were in the likeness of a human, they are called 'inukshuk'.  You see them in many places in Alaska.  Toad added a few of his own!




AN AWESOME DRIVE TO VALDEZ!


Valdez, notice the oil storage on the hill.  This is the terminal of the Alaska Pipeline!
