As you arrive in this scenic town it will not be hard to see why it has been dubbed "Switzerland of Alaska". Amazing mountain scenery surrounds this friendly community perched on Prince William Sound. Numerous nearby attractions lure visitors but many travelers enjoy simply soaking up the green beauty and small town atmosphere.

In 1989 the Exxon Valdez disaster turned this small community into the chaotic center of a massive oil spill cleanup project. The population nearly tripled in a few days. As you enjoy the serenity of what is now back to a tiny town with clean, clear water, think of what a remarkable job the community must have done in coping with this disaster and enjoy their friendly Alaskan outlook.
