Gold
Creek Shoreline Tour
Meet at 7a.m. at the office of Anadyr Adventures for pre-trip
safety briefing, paddling lesson and equipment fitting. Launch
from the small boat harbor across from our office. Paddle out
into scenic Port Valdez across the mouth of Mineral Creek and
the shoreline of Blueberry Hill. Spend the next 3 hours paddling
the rugged coastline between Valdez and Gold Creek. See towering
mountains with snow covered peaks, hanging glaciers and glacial
valleys. Once arriving at Gold Creek, take time to beachcomb and
enjoy your lunch overlooking beautiful Port Valdez.
After
lunch, take an optional hike into the ancient rain forest and
see waterfalls tumbling out of a steep basalt gorge. This is part
of the popular Valdez to Shoup Glacier hiking trail built from
Exxon Valdez Oil Spill restoration funds. An alternative to hiking
is fishing for salmon either from shore or your kayak. After enjoying
the beach we go back to our kayaks, embark upon your return journey
to Valdez. Possible wildlife encounters are: harbor seals, sea
otters, sea lions, marine birds and black bears.
