Here are more of the things I saw as I drove south on Hwy 4 towards Valdez.
I stopped at a much smaller lake, Lake Pippin, on my right.
I then came to another access road for the National Park. I was glad I already knew it was closed for the season.
The sun had come out briefly near Pippin Lake but as I got closer to the big mountains in the Chugach Range the clouds above many of them began to influence the sky above me.
That sign pertained mostly to the mountain in the photo above it. The road ran very close to the base, and there were more after that. I came back to take a photo of the sign.
My “2 1/2 hour drive” had already stretched to almost 4 1/2 hours and I still had a ways to go. Believe me, I took lots more photos than I am posting but I have tried to select the best ones for you to see.
