Details About Whittier

Destinations » Alaska » Alaska » Whittier


Whittier is nestled at the base of mountains that line Passage Canal. a fjord that extends into Prince William Sound. The surrounding peaks are snowcapped much of the year and a glacier hangs above the town to the west. Just across from Passage Canal from Whittier is Kittiwake Rookery, largest of its kind in the world. Whittier is also a berry picker's paradise with blueberries and salmonberries growing in abundance at the edge of town.

Activities

Wildlife- and glacier-viewing day-cruise ships, sea kayaking companies and plenty of fishing charters all make Whittier a home base.

Currency

The U.S. dollar (USD) is the official currency. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also widely accepted.
