Maynard Mountain and Learnard Glacier are near Whittier, Alaska. This photo was taken near the start of the Portage Pass trail, a trail we hiked on one of our two visits to Whittier. Maynard Mountain is 4050 ft (1234 m) and one of the dominant peaks in the area. It is part of the Chugach Range, but by no means the highest peak in the range.

This was near the beginning of our hike up the Portage Pass trail just outside of Whittier. I could not find a name for the creek, however. It flows from Divide Lake at the top of the pass down into Prince William Sound, or, as this part of it is known, Passage Canal.

Taken early in the morning in Prince William Sound near Whittier, Alaska.

The town of Whittier is at the upper end of Prince William Sound and is the ferry port for Anchorage, which is about 90 miles north. Our trip ran into a number of scheduling difficulties and we ended up in Whittier with a whole day ahead of us while waiting for the train to Anchorage. We used the time to hike to Portage Pass and its views of Portage Lake and Glacier. This photo was taken near the beginning of that hike. The town of Whittier is a round the corner to the right and the cruise ship is not the ferry we took to Whittier but was docked in Whittier for some hours before going on to destinations unknown to us.
