Driving into Whittier, Alaska feels like entering another world.
Roadtrip day 37 from Las Vegas, NV to the Arctic Sea.
Entering Whittier, Alaska and to get here, you have to pass through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel, a narrow one-lane tunnel shared by both cars and trains. Nearly 2.5 miles long, carved straight through the mountain, it’s an experience all by itself.
One minute you’re waiting at the gate, and a few minutes later you emerge surrounded by towering mountains, waterfalls, glaciers, and the waters of Prince William Sound.
I’ve driven thousands of miles on this Alaska adventure, but I can honestly say there aren’t many entrances to a town quite like this one. Sometimes the journey to a destination becomes part of the destination itself. 🚙🏔️🚇
