Good thing there’s good anchorage here, because you’re bound to want to put down some roots at Sawmill Bay State Marine Park. This pretty park is 15 miles away from Valdez, and it’s one of the premier anchorages in Valdez Arm. Why is it so popular, you ask? Well, the scenery sure doesn’t hurt. The bay is cradled by plenty of 4,000-foot mountain peaks, and they’re definitely Instagram-worthy. If you can tear yourself away from the coast, have a jaunt through the forest, and see if you can spot a land otter or bear. Back near the water, you might also see some sea otters and seals. If you’re looking to pitch your tent, you’ll find two tent platforms with a fire ring and food locker (a must in bear country!).

Instead, expect a stunning setting featuring a wide assortment of local fauna, dense conifers, and one of the most popular anchorages in the area. When you get home, you can tell ‘em Read more...
