You must drive through the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel. The tunnel is open to single lane traffic only and requires a timed entry pass during peak seasons.

Most visitors stay at the Begich Towers, a unique residential building housing hotels, shops, and services. Book early as rooms are limited and fill up quickly.

Coverage is extremely limited inside the tunnel and often spotty in town. Plan offline maps and download necessary information before your trip for better navigation.
