GETTING AROUND

One of the best parts of Valdez's small-town charm is how easy it is to get around. With restaurants, museums, shops, and hiking trails just mere blocks from most of our hotels and B&Bs, our town is one of the most walkable towns in Alaska. Valdez stretches only about a mile from the Chugach Mountains to the waterfront along Port of Valdez.

Additionally, visitors can rent bikes and explore the town like locals. If you're interested in wildlife viewing, you can pedal along the Crooked Creek Bike Path that leads from town along the Duck Flats and out the highway to Dayville Road and the Solomon Gulch Fish Hatchery, where bears, seals, and eagles may be seen feeding on returning salmon.

Valdez has many creative ways to get around. Methods of transportation include the local taxi company, hotel shuttles, and Turo, as well as helicopters and water taxis for those trying to reach more remote areas.
