Getting To POS

POS is located east of Valdez in Keystone Canyon off the Richardson Highway. Depending on conditions and vehicle, some trucks can drive off the highway down to the flat and park at the base of the icefall. Sometimes there is enough shoulder parking to park in front of it along the highway. Other times it may be best to park at the Bridal Veil Falls pullout and walk over to POS.
