Waterfall Heaven

What a gorgeous place to spend the night. The sound of the waterfall lulls you to sleep. Being fourth of July folks were riding side by sides but very friendly. We took the bridge over and went back the road for about 2 miles. We had a 17 foot camper and SUV. In laws had a van. Parked right beside the river and waterfall.

The coordinate is wrong

I parked at this coordinate. I found two RVs there. (61.1415202, -146.3619950). The Mineral Creek trailhead is cross the bridge.

Valdez, AK

Primitive dispersed camping. No facilities. Next to glacier creek. Salmon run Aug-early Sept. Google map Mineral Creek Rd, take it to end then keep going down gravel road. There's a car bridge to get to other side of creek. Pristine, please keep it that way!! Beautiful view of mountains.
