July 12th (continued)

From the Alyeska Hwy we drove over to Whittier on the Portage Glacier Road.  From here we could see glaciers.  All I can say is WOW!!   To get into Whittier we had to drive thru a one lane 2 1/2 mile tunnel. so on the 1/2 hour traffic could go thru to Whittier and on the hour back out.  
Whittier is the gateway to prince William sound.  The town has 220 people.  There is a large harbor. And u can take the ferry to Valdez and Cordova.  A lot of glacier cruises go from the harbor.
We had a late lunch at one of the little seafood restaurants.  We both had fresh Halibut and it was really good.
