About Valdez
Ships dock at the John Thomas Kelsey Municipal Dock, next to the ferry terminal, and most downtown attractions are within a few blocks. Guests can walk to the Valdez Museum, the Remembering Old Valdez exhibit, the small boat harbor and waterfront restaurants without a shuttle. Common outings include a glacier and wildlife cruise on Prince William Sound, the Solomon Gulch Fish Hatchery, and drives to Keystone Canyon and Worthington Glacier. Trails such as Overlook and Meals Hill start near the dock for those wanting a short hike.
