WHITTIER

During World War II, the us army was looking for a Spot to build a secret military installation. So Whittier was created, sourrounded by impassable mountains and only accessible by ship or a 2.7 mile supply tunnel. The tunnel opened in 2000 for auto traffic, with eastbound and westbound traffic alternating every 15 minutes. There is not much to see in Whittier despite of some abandoned buildings and the harbour with lots of fishing boats and cruise operators.
