Things To Do

Alyeska Resort

Enjoy some beautiful short hikes in the area (Ex: Virgin Creek Falls) or take the gondola lift to the top of the mountain, you won't be disappointed either way. The resort has a lovely Nordic Spa (It's worth it!). I also highly recommend eating at Jack Sprat and enjoying a beer at Girdwood Brewery Company.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

Great for families!

Portage Glacier

If you want to see more of Portage Glacier (vs. just a drive-up viewpoint) I would recommend doing the Portage Pass Trail: This is a moderate, 4-mile roundtrip hike with stunning views of the glacier, lake, and Prince William Sound. If this interests you, then you will need to take the tunnel into Whittier.

Cooper Landing Brewing Company

Kenai River Salmon Fishing

There are plenty of fishing charter options out there! Here is just a quick link to a few of them.
