We drove to Whittier on a
nice coach taking us the 60 miles (96 km) from Anchorage to
Whittier. The sceneries along the Turnagain Arm, turning towards
Whittier and along rainforest. Interesting to watch the 'stoned'
trees that died after the area was fludded with salt water.
Before we reached the longest tunnel in North America we enjoyed
the view of the Portage glacier. It's not long since the cars
were allowed through the tunnel, so before that they drove onto
the railway and got though. Even today its a single lane tunnel,
so there are special opening hours in both directions for
whiricles and trains to cross.
