On Friday night we stayed at the Downtown B&B. Although, it is still their winter season, so it was just the first B, bed and no breakfast. It was simply a place to rest our head. You may or may not remember from an earlier post that Valdez had record snow this year. They received a total of 420 inches. As you can image, they still have enormous piles throughout the town. Despite the snow, as we pulled into our B&B, there were daffodils blooming.
After checking into our rooms, we ate at an "authentic Alaskan-Mexican" restaurant. The food was actually quite good. On Saturday, we roamed around town the small town checking out all the snow before heading out on the Richardson Highway, which connects to the Glennallen Highway, which takes us into Anchorage. The Richardson Highway was a beautiful drive, especially with the snow still covering the mountains. Once we started entering the mountains, we took in gorgeous views of Horsetail Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and even saw a mini avalanche.
