State Park Information

This 113-acre state recreation site, located off the Richardson Highway (Mile 28.7) near Valdez, features a short trail leading right to the blue ice of the Worthington glacier.

High alpine tundra and many hanging glaciers make this an excellent area for photographers. Cross-country skiers use the park in winter.

Park facilities include an interpretive viewing shelter, glacier viewing areas and accessible trails.

The park is part of the dramatic Thompson Pass area offering spectacular mountain scenery.
