We're continuing our Ultimate Alaska road trip today and heading through a mountain on North America's longest single lane highway tunnel. Once in Whittier, we're taking you on one of Alaska's most beautiful hikes over Portage Pass for epic views of Portage Glacier.

We spend the night in Whittier, cut off from the rest of the world each night when the tunnel closes (and the residents rarely need to leave their building in the winter when they brave over 21ft of snowfall) to show you why this is considered by many to be one of the most isolated towns in North America and on earth.
