Copper Center
This will be a two-day trip from Anchorage to Copper Center with a rental SUV, this mainly cause my interest in the Trans Alaska Pipeline was sparked by a book I recently read.
I will be staying at the Copper Center Lodge which is the original Roadhouse where trappers hunters gold diggers would stop for food and supplies

Whittier Whittier is nestled between the glacier-capped Chugach mountains and Prince William Sound. Built by the U.S. Government during World War II as a hidden port, today Whittier is the gateway to a recreational wonderland. In May of 2000, a highway from Whittier to the Interior opened to the public. This spectacular drive from the edge of Prince William Sound through the Chugach mountains winds through a series of tunnels, and connects Whittier to Anchorage only 45 miles to the south. Travelers also have the option of taking the famed Alaska Railroad from Whittier all the way to Fairbanks.
Passengers traveling to and from Whittier, and especially those departing on the M/V Bartlett from Whittier, are advised to check the Whittier Tunnel web site for a schedule of when the tunnel is open to vehicle traffic. You may be unable to make your sailing if you do not arrive at the tunnel at a time when it is open. Bicycle and foot traffic is prohibited through the tunnel, and there are vehicle size and other restrictions of which you should be aware before traveling through the tunnel. For a recording of the base schedule, call the Whittier Tunnel toll-free at (877) 611-2586.
