South of Anchorage, pan for gold nuggets and visit historic mining buildings at picturesque Crow Creek Mine. Continue south to the Begich-Boggs Visitor Center for interpretive displays of Portage Glacier. Then, put your car, camper, or just yourself on the Alaska Railroad for the scenic 30-minute trip to Whittier and the fabulous recreational opportunities of Prince William Sound. Sailing, fishing, kayaking, hiking and wildlife vie for your attention in this wonderland of islands, glaciers, and fjords. Take a flightseeing excursion to view sprawling Columbia Galcier. Ferries sail between Whittier and Valdez, southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline (tours available). Alaska ferries also call at the fishing port of Cordova, former shipping depot for Kennecott Copper Mine ore.
