“Beautiful, so beautiful, now lets keep it that wan”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 23, 2012

So to all those oilies, Exxon did destroy a lot but the area is still beautiful. So enjoy and pray that there are no more drunk captains? Single hull tankers? Drill baby drill winners cause we become the losers. Kayak, charter a boat, tale a charter, fish. You never know what may happen to it. More

Two May sea-kayak trips have shown me the true beauty of Alaska... You can see the effects of the 1960 earthquake, as the land rose... you can see the new tree line... Lots of sea mammals.. little otters watching you and whales on patrol... We also saw bears on the beach. More

What more can i say? Take a drive down one of the top 10 scenic by-ways in teh country through our 2 mile, 80 million dollar tunnel to Whittier. The journey is as good as the destination.
