Mountains & Rivers Along the Richardson

The Richardson Highway is some 366 miles long. It connects Valdez in the south with Fairbanks in the north. Much of the road is rightfully designated an Alaska Scenic Byway.

Today we drove only about 167 miles of the Richardson. A long enough distance for Mui to say that thus far it is his favorite amongst the roads we’ve driven on this trip. I have to agree. The mountains ... the streams, creeks, and rivers. They all added to our pleasure. As did the nice weather-day that ranged from cloudy, to partly cloudy, to partly sunny, to full sunshine.

We’ll be driving a few more miles of this road tomorrow, but the section south from Paxson is going to have to wait until later in our trip.En savoir plus
