Anton Anderson Tunnel

Whittier Alaska 2026: Anton Anderson Tunnel schedule, Columbia Glacier cruises, Prince William Sound kayaking, silver salmon fishing, and Begich Towers.

One of Alaska's most unusual towns is also one of its most rewarding day trips — 60 miles from Anchorage through a shared rail-and-highway tunnel to a harbor full of glaciers, otters, and boat tours.

Drive 60 miles from Anchorage through the famous one-lane tunnel to reach Whittier — glaciers, Prince William Sound cruises, and a town unlike any other.

Plan the Portage Glacier and Whittier day trip from Anchorage: MV Ptarmigan cruise, Byron Glacier trail, Anton Anderson Tunnel times, and Prince William Sound.
