To get to Whittier, AK in a car, you need to go through the 4km Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. The tunnel is one lane and shared with the railway, so it runs on a schedule and there is only 15 minutes in each hour when you can actually drive through in the direction you want.
In the tunnel - note the rail tracks.
Once in Whittier, a 1.5 mile hike gets you into the alpine with views of the ocean on one side and Portage glacier on the other.
Portage Glacier
Our bear hang. Pretty good considering the lack of trees I'd say.
