Susy56, yes Whittier is kind of cool. There is a tunnel between Whittier and Anchorage and the tricky bit is getting there in time. What happens is it's only open once an hour for like 15 minutes because it's a one way trip. Then it's closed to traffic going in and traffic coming out has about 15 minutes, and then it's closed so the train can use it. You can get out of Whittier by the Alaska Railroad, depending on timing, and by car or by bus. I think all of the cruise lines have transport from the harbor to downtown Anchorage hotel areas. If I can help you more feel free to email me at alaskaparks@msn.com. Have a great trip! I worked with the cruise lines in Juneau for 10 years and know all of the tricks to shore excursions if you're interested.

Lots of sun here in San Diego, but I'm looking forward to being in Alaska in May on a cruise and just today was trying to figure out how to get from Whittier to Anchorage. What's the best way, do you know? I enjoyed looking at your portfolio. I can't imagine being in Anchorage in the winter!
