Valdez sits on the banks of Port Valdez, a beautiful fjord off Prince
William Sound surrounded by majestic glacier clad mountains. The area
has a colorful history of boom and bust cycles including: the gold rush
beginning in 1897; the construction of a town; a small railroad war; the
building of a highway; an earthquake that caused such devastation the
entire town was relocated; the construction of an oil pipeline that
stretches longitudinally across the state and an oil spill that drew
world attention.  Today, with a booming tourist industry, Valdez has
become a haven for winter and summer enthusiasts with extreme skiing
competitions, ice climbing festivals, several good hiking trails and
great fishing.  This year Valdez is celebrating the Centennial of the
its incorporation.
