Worthington Glacier State Park
Ok so you got to Alaska and you saw a glacier, but how close were you? 300 yards, 1 mile, 10 miles? At Worthington Glacier State Park “hands on” will take on a new meaning as you put your hands on the glacier and stand right next to it. http://www.alaskanha.org/worthington-glacier-state-recreation-site-valdez.htm

Gulkana Wild & Scenic River
Only a quick car ride north from the visitors’ center and you will find yourself at the beautiful Gulkana River.
