Summer in Alaska is beautiful as the snow packs are melting and the ice is thawing creating massive waterfalls which highlight the highway scenery. Thompson Pass where this waterfall rages, is approximately 27 miles northeast of Valdez, Alaska and during the winter months, the snowfall averages about 550 inches.
