Traveling to, or From, Whittier is a unique experience due to having to travel through North America’s longest highway tunnel. The Anton Anderson tunnel is 2.5 miles long, and is a one-lane toll road. The tunnel operates on a limited schedule and traffic alternates direction every half hour. Although Whittier is only a little over a hour away from Anchorage, the limited access results in there not being very many options for transportation. There are no taxis in Whittier, nor are there shuttles that would provide you options for transportation to Anchorage so it is really important that you book your transportation to or from Whittier prior to arriving in Alaska.>>>http://blog.alaskatravel.com/whittier-cruise-port 

Here is a funny thing...Canadians and our Alaskan cousins are among the few in the world who measure distances using a reference to time. "About an hour" is the answer...just not in miles.
