To Valdez, Alaska: Winter Photo Album

Looking north from near the summit of Thompson Pass on the Richardson Highway. The elevation
at the summit is only 2,678 feet, but it feels much higher. The drop from here to Valdez
is very dramatic. Click here for more information about the highway. February 12, 2004, 3:30 p.m.
