Once we set up at the Whittier Campground and had lunch, we decided to drive around and check out the town.

We found a little road that took off into the hills and away we went:

Traveling on the Alaskan Ferry was one of my bucket list items so when I checked out the cost from Valdez to Whittier, it was a go for us. Last week I spoke to their Customer Service Representatives on what we needed to do. We found out that we had to disconnect - so two separate vehicles. We also found out that our mirrors do not retract, which meant we had to pay an extra fee because that put us at 10 feet wide. So after figuring out all that, we made a reservation and today was that day.
We arrived at the station at 5 AM (YAWN!), checked in and waited in line. They started loading us about 615 AM. There was a lot of concern on the motorhome because it sits low but they got it on with very little problems.
At 7 AM, the horn sounded and away we went.
