An entire city lives inside one building in USA

Whittier, Alaska is a picturesque mountain town tucked away in the heart of Alaska's northern slope, north of Anchorage. Linked by a narrow stretch of the Alaska-Washington state border, it attracts large numbers of visitors each year seeking the pristine wilderness of water, ice and granite that sits along its shores. These tourists stop in a few small shops in town, spend their free time hunting, fishing, hiking, sightseeing and then head out on other adventures in Alaska. 

    

If you use a train service to transport your luggage on a cruise ship, it is recommended to take a full-day cruise to Whittier. When guests drop anchor the same day, they have a full day to shop, sightseeing, fishing and other activities before they give up.

The tunnel is a one-way street that runs from Maynard Mountain to Whittier and then another 2-5 miles north.

Since there are not many roads to and from Whittleier or Alaska in total, it is up to you to find two spots from which you have a better view of a waterfall.
