Picture: Whittier Alaska
Although situated only
approximately 60 miles from Anchorage, Whittier feels a world away. This small,
secluded town - only accessible by land via the two-mile long Anton Anderson
Memorial Tunnel - is nestled between soaring mountain peaks and the Passage
Canal. Having been originally founded as a military facility during World War
II, today, Whittier is your gateway to the famous Prince William Sound. The
spectacular rugged coastlines and waterways are home to abundant wildlife,
including bears, mountain goats, Dall sheep, whales, sea lions, otters and much
more. Unleash your inner explorer on one of the many outdoor activities or
enjoy a scenic boat tour along a portion of the sound.
Video: Hubbard Glacier
The Hubbard Glacier is the largest tidewater glacier
in North America. Its awe-inspiring, turquoise-coloured face towers nearly 400
feet tall - 250 feet of which are underwater - while its icebergs are often
three or four stories high. At nearly six miles wide where the ice meets the
ocean and 76 miles long, viewing this massive glacial mass is an experience not
soon forgotten. As you cruise near the glacier, keep an eye out for the
region's rich variety of wildlife, from bald eagles to harbour seals, orcas and
humpback whales.
Video: Juneau
Juneau has been called “Alaska's peak experience,” certainly due in part to its unparalleled glacier
viewing from such places as Tracy Arm Fjord, the Juneau Icefields and Glacier
Bay National Park. Kayak up one of the area's many protected waterways, go
flightseeing, tour historic downtown or try your hand at panning for gold. The
majestic Mendenhall Glacier lies nearly 12 miles outside Juneau, a treck worthwhile.
Video: Skagway
In a single year from 1896 to 1897, this remote town
along the Inside Passage grew from a few tents to a city of 20,000 gold
seekers. Today, travelers come in search of other riches - to experience
yesteryear along Skagway's charming boardwalk lined with buildings that
replicate those Gold Rush days
Video: Ketchikan
Thanks to its abundant rainfall, Ketchikan is
surrounded by some of the world's most lush wilderness. Its Tlingit Indian
name, Kach Khanna, means "spread wings of the eagle." Chances are
you'll see one of these magnificent birds perched atop a Sitka tree during your
Alaska cruise to Ketchikan (Ward Cove).
