With its towering peaks that are sometimes compared to those of Switzerland, Valdez sits quietly on the shore of beautiful Prince William Sound. The area's major attractions are the vast Columbia Glacier and the tumbling Keystone River. Aerial tours over the glacier and river-rafting adventures are among the most popular excursions offered.
