Grand Opening of the Crooked Creek Information Site Valdez, Alaska

Valdez Alaska 2Image via Wikipedia The City of Valdez and the Chugach National Forest are happy to announce the grand opening of the Crooked Creek Information Site. On August 5, 2011 at 3:00pm, Mayor David Cobb and Teresa Benson, Chugach National Forest District Ranger for Cordova, will be on hand for the official ribbon cutting and to welcome everyone to the new site. Refreshments will be served.

The stylish new log building, which will be open from Memorial Day-Labor Day, replaces a trailer that served as a visitor information site since the late ‘90s. The new structure is more spacious and will accommodate more visitors, exhibits and displays. Located at Mile .5 on the Richardson Highway, a spot known locally as the “salmon turnaround,” the site is a popular and well-situated place to watch wildlife and spawning salmon.
