One day in Whittier, Alaska! (Portage Pass, Emerald Cove, & driving the tunnel!)

Welcome to the town of Whittier, Alaska! This town is located on the Prince William Sound and is pretty unique, as it requires driving through the longest highway tunnel in North America to get to it and most residents living in the same building. We spent a day here seeing tons of glaciers, exploring town, picking wild berries, watching salmon swim, and hiking to a gorgeous cove. It was a blast!
