  • This drive begins at Seward Highway, and follows the Portage Glacier Road to, and through, the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. On the other side is Whittier -- and I think I drove on every street in town. Please let me know if I missed your favorite!

    I made this trip in May/June, 2016. Video shot with a Brinno TLC-200 Pro time-lapse camera, mounted on my roof with a homemade magnetic case. I travel with two Brinno cameras - one facing forward, the other in reverse. Sometimes the reverse camera captures better video (fewer raindrops and bugs hit the rear-view lens).

    Very nice video. I like the speed up aspect to keep things moving along.

    Great video and a darn sight better weather when I was there last year at the end of my cruise. It was so misty I could barely see the trains from the docked ship but once through the tunnel the weather was clear.

    So there's a lot more there than just the High Rise like all the other YT videos like to portray.

    That music is going to haunt me in my dreams tonight. It sounded like a bad arcade game from the 1980's. Video footage was kind a cool though.

    Thinking very hard about moving to BTI next year. Planning to visit in the dead of winter to see what that is all about. Thanks for the tour.

    I love how almost everyone in Whittier lives in those Condos! I think they are called the Tower Condos if I remember correctly? I love making this drive from Eagle River (my subdivision a little north of Anchorage).

    Great concept but the music doesn’t fit if you’ve traveled. You need “road music.”

    Never stopped at stop signs. Not one.

    • @takemytrip
      @takemytrip  5 років тому +1

      I assure you that I stop at stop signs. The accelerated video often makes it appear that I didn't.

      He's also going over 100 miles per hour for most of it! Or, wait, maybe it's just sped up and you can't really tell.

    When you came to those road closed signs, you turned around. Was the road closed, or did the road end at that point? I've tried to go back and watch, but no luck. Thanks.

    Whittier looks pretty big for a town where everyone lives in one building.
