Frequently Asked Questions
At the cruise terminal, at the head of a dead-end fjord ringed by cliffs streaked with waterfalls. The terminal adjoins the rail station, and the whole village can be walked in about thirty minutes.
Through a hole in the mountain: a single-lane tunnel 4.1 kilometres long, the longest combined highway-rail tunnel in North America, shared in turns by trains and cars. Access therefore runs on timed slots.
Yes. Begich Towers, a 14-storey building inherited from the US Army, houses nearly all of the roughly 270 residents, with apartments, a school connected by covered walkway, a grocery, a clinic and the post office.
As a secret military port during the Second World War: ice-free year-round and often hidden by cloud, the site escaped enemy observation. The shell of the abandoned Buckner Building still marks that era.
A boat trip into Prince William Sound at the foot of the Blackstone Bay glaciers, or the Portage Pass hike. Those who stay in the village can walk the fishing harbour and the small military museum in an hour.
Excursions from the harbour cruise past dozens of glaciers, including the faces of Blackstone Bay and the dramatic tongues of Esther Passage. Sea otters floating on their backs, seals hauled out on growlers, mountain goats and, in season, humpback whales complete the picture.
Two, both starting in the village. The Horsetail Falls trail climbs a little over a kilometre to wooden platforms overlooking Passage Canal. The harder Portage Pass trail rises three kilometres to a saddle with views of both the fjord and Portage Glacier.
Most often an embarkation or disembarkation port for Gulf of Alaska itineraries. Scenic trains and coaches run to Anchorage about a hundred kilometres away, then on to Denali or the Matanuska Valley.
The US dollar and English. Services are limited: a few seasonal shops and fried-fish counters facing the mountains, and little else.
Yes, provided you favour nature over attractions. Otters, seals and the cliff where thousands of black-legged kittiwakes nest hold children's attention. The village itself offers almost nothing: the sea and the mountains make the day.
