A day in Valdez, Alaska ( 4K HD ) 

I was in Valdez only for a day and I also miss it dearly. Incredible place, what a reward after that drive from Glennallen.

Agree especially with the drive! It goes through the mountain passes and it must be one of the most scenic drives in the whole United States.

sounds very luring indeed. lovely.

Hi ProGamer, thanks for sharing. Valdez is a semi-hidden gem, it is located kind of off ways so it takes an effort to even get there. But once you are, the town and the area are very rewarding.

agreed

Completely agree! One issue may be the remoteness but I understand all the infrastructure is there, Amazon Prime delivers, so should be good enough :)

Hey Ryan, congrats on the move, even though Texas won't let you that easily haha. Get a car and drive the road between Valdez and Glennallen, it is insanely beautiful in all seasons.

Glad you liked it. And yes, those lands are absolutely amazing.

Good luck with your plans! If travel industry continues recovering the way it is, Valdez and many other places in Alaska will see a lot of new jobs. It is a great place to move to.

It really is! Wish it was a bit easier to get to though.

When I was driving to Valdez, I didn't think of it as a trip to Valdez, it was more of enjoying the scenery along the way. So you're absolutely right.

Most of the videos were shot in mid to late September, that's when the foliage colors truly kick in. The logistical challenge is that mid September is the end of the travel season in Alaska, some hotels either downsize or close, weather may become a bit chilly or unpredictable. Not a huge problem, but just be aware. I appreciate the compliments, it means a lot that you like my little hobby. The best of luck with your trip this fall!

Homer is very nice also. Valdez seems more remote and secluded. Drive to Valdez also seems nicer, not to offend residents of Kenai peninsula though :)

Planes are one of the safest modes of transportation so there's not much to worry about. My tip these days is - take a large bottle of water or two and drink often, this will allow you to take off the mask temporarily and breathe deeply. If you are worrying on a plane or a panic is coming, take deep breaths for 5 - 10 minutes and you'll see how you calm down. I know a girl who had an airplane anxiety so her doctor prescribed her something but that is extreme. Always keep in mind what great reward you'll get in the end! Alaska is a great reason to fly your first flight. Silver Bay Seafoods are a state of the art company and they'll take great care of you. The best of luck with your trip, Jay!

Don't get fired ungave to buy ur own ticket back plus pray fish come in if bot there won't be work they are very into favorites of who gets there hrs

How did you like it? Do you guys come home with money? When I went it like 2014 I came back with just over a grand is all.

Hi Jacob! The town is pretty small and all the activities are around the harbor, all good restaurants are in the town center which is the same area, too. I only spent a day in Valdez (btw luckly you to be there for the whole 7 days) and I usually hit a seafood place for the catch of the day, "Mike's Palace" was great in that regard, highly recommended. If you have a car, go to Valdez Gracier Lake about 10 miles from town center, it is a stunning place. Enjoy your time!

Very true, I only shoot 'no comment' videos. There's a plenty of 'Top 10 places to see in ...', I don't want to compete in that genre ;)

Hope you'll enjoy it! Go to Mike's Palace by the harbor, order the catch of the day and be happy :)

Sergey, thanks for taking the time to reply. I’ll make sure we stop in for the “catch of the day” at Mike’s Palace!

@@fishduckdog You're welcome, Charles! Good luck with your trip.

Turismo, gestion de la naturaleza, parques, infrastructura y más. Gracias!

@ gracias por su respuesta.. espero poder ir a conocer un dia. Saludos desde Argentina.

Good luck with the trip! Summer 2023 is the right time to plan for the next summer, indeed, or it will be too late, cars and hotels will be all out of stock

@ I'm driving my truck and travel trailer. Hope to catch a week's worth of salmon/halibut.
