Portage Glacier Hike from Whittier, Alaska

One of my favorite hikes in Alaska was the Portage Pass trail from Whittier.  Here are some photos:

The easy walk from the ship to the trailhead near the railroad tunnel:

Views from the top of the trail were beautiful, even with the gray skies.
Looking back toward Passage Canal:


Looking down toward Portage Glacier:


Tiny alpine plants--at amazingly low elevation


More misty beauty at the end of the trail:


If you want more details on this or other hikes you can do while on a cruise,
