Day Trip to Whittier, Alaska

Day Trip to Whittier, Alaska

Situated at the head of the Passage Canal on the western edge of Prince William Sound, the community of Whittier is approximately 60 miles southeast of Anchorage.

Whittier is a photographer's paradise. You can see birds, sea otter, seal, whales, sea lion, porpoise, glaciers, waterfalls, goat, deer, bear and more. Hike the Portage Pass Trail or the Salmon Run trail, beach comb and pick berries. Water sports include boating, sailing, kayaking, recreational sports fishing and scuba diving. Winter sports activities include snow shoeing, cross country skiing, and snowmobiling.
