Whittier Alaska is a very scenic small town and harbor located about an hour from Anchorage, and a 
gateway to Prince William Sound.
Just the drive is somewhat of a unique experience. There is 2.5 mile tunnel you have to go through to get to Whittier. The tunnel is an engineering feat being the longest tunnel in North America. It is a single lane. Each direction is open every 1/2 hour, so you can plan your arrival to the mouth of the tunnel.
Whittier is located in Passage Canal in scenic Prince William Sound.
My brother in law, Rick Stonke, keeps a boat in the Whittier small boat harbor. This past weekend he took the family along to pull his shrimp pots. Check out the bonanza of monster shrimp we shared for dinner!
I love Alaska all the time, but especially the summer time!
