The Richardson Highway runs mostly North-South between Fairbank and Valdez. The Richardson Highway is a road with superb scenery. Near Valdez, it passes the multiple-armed Worthington Glacier, the high Thompson Pass with the record snow accumulation in Alaska, and the Keystone Canyon with its many waterfalls that almost plunge onto the road from steep and verdant canyon walls. Between Glennallen (junction with the Glenn Highway), and Delta Junction (junction with the Alaska Highway), the Richardson Highway crosses the Eastern Alaska Range, offering spectacular views of mountains and easy access to glaciers.
