Cordova is a place I have wanted to visit for many years, but I have never had the pleasure until this last week. Under blue bird skies we boarded the fast ferry Chenega in Whittier and sailed across Prince William Sound at an amazing 32 knots. I brought along our digital SLR camera hoping to capture some good photos. It was a good choice, the weather was nice most days and the scenery was great. Cordova is a cute little town with a lots of rugged mountains, pretty boats, and wildlife. I wish I had had more time to wander the town and learn more about the history, but on the other hand being out on the water all day was nice too. I posted a lot of photos here because I just couldn't bring myself to narrow it down any further. This is my favorite 16 photos out the 200 plus that I took last week. Someday I would like to go back to Cordova with Molly and spend time learning more about the history and hiking trails in Chugach National Forest.
