Family Pictures of our trip to Whittier, Alaska

Family Pictures in Whittier, Alaska - Father's Day Weekend

Tucked in a pocket of mountains hard against Prince William Sound, Whittier is famously compact. Connected to the rest of Alaska by road, rail and the Alaska Marine Highway, Whittier attracts a large numbers of visitors during the summer looking for the unspoiled wilderness of water, ice and granite that lies beyond its shores. Fantastic hiking opportunities exist and due to the influx of travelers, a fair number of interesting shops are scattered about. Kayaking and scuba diving are superb, and the docks are packed with cruise ships and water-taxis waiting to take visitors into the wildlife-rich waters of the Sound.
