Some road trips take you exactly where you planned. Others? Lead you to places you NEVER expected.
On Day 15, I took an unplanned detour south from Fairbanks and ended up in Whittier, Alaska—one of the most remote, mysterious, and fascinating towns in the world!
Here’s what makes Whittier INSANE:
🏢 EVERYONE in town (about 200+ people) lives in ONE SINGLE BUILDING!
🛡️ This building—Begich Towers—was originally built as a military barracks during WWII.
🚆 The only way in or out? A single-lane tunnel through the mountains!
I was absolutely blown away by this place. The mix of history, isolation, and stunning natural beauty makes Whittier one of Alaska’s best-kept secrets. This was a total accident, but one of the best discoveries of my trip!
📍 Route: Fairbanks ➡️ Whittier, Alaska
🚗 Distance: 700+ KM detour
🏔 Highlights: Whittier’s mystery, stunning landscapes, and discovering an entire town inside ONE BUILDING!
