Nestled between Anchorage and Prince William Sound, Whittier, Alaska is a port town on the banks of Passage Canal. Whittier is the perfect place to explore Alaska's natural beauty, providing access to nearby Emerald Cove Trail and Portage Pass Trail as well as Chugach State Park further northwest. Considered the gateway to Prince William Sound, this small port town is a popular stop on Alaskan cruises.
