Glacier View

The road from Valdez to Glacier View was well-paved but full of frost heaves.  We stopped at the Grand View RV Park because we needed a couple of days of full hookups, hot showers, and wifi.  It even had cable.   We did laundry and just enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.

Glacier View is near the twenty-six mile long Matanuska Glacier and the glacier has a good effect on its weather.  The area is warmer and sunnier than the surrounding area.  The RV park is near the Glacier and looks into a mountain that holds Dall sheep.
