If YOU ARE DRIVING TO WHITTIER
If driving from Anchorage, use the tunnel schedule times from Bear Valley to Whittier. Use the 4:30 PM or 5:30 PM tunnel to ensure that you will be able to board on time and not miss the 6:00 PM departure. The tunnel access to Whittier is available from 4:30 PM – 4:45 PM and again at 5:30 PM – 5:45 PM. Please allow time to pay the tunnel toll and get in line before the tunnel access times. More information is available for the Whittier Tunnel here: www.dot.state.ak.us/creg/whittiertunnel. Cell phone service is very limited or non-existent on the Portage Glacier Road and through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. Speed limits are strictly enforced so please allow extra travel time and don't miss the tunnel. Once in Whittier, our office is only one mile from the tunnel.
