Day 26. We left Valdez under the same overcast skies we saw when we woke up Wednesday morning. We didn't appreciate how rare clear skies might be when we arrived there Tuesday night to clear skies. Regardless, the drive from Valdez to Glenallen was spectacular even with overcast skies--perhaps the best drive of our trip to date. We stopped at the Wrangle-St. Elias National Park Visitor Center outside of Glenallen and watched the interpretive movie of the park. Six times the size of Yellowstone! However, that will need to wait for another trip. The drive to Anchorage was uneventful with intermittent rain. We arrived around 4:30 p.m. and checked in to our hotel. No camping while our daughters are in town. Their flight is running about 1 1/2 hours late, so we're waiting awhile at the hotel. We will take them to dinner after their flight arrives around 8 p.m. Tomorrow is Anchorage sight seeing and preparations for a glacier cruise on Prince William Sound on Sunday. Our spirits our high even though the skies our overcast.
