Explore the remains of Portage, a ghost town left in the wake of the 1964 Alaska earthquake. The sinking ground submerged most of the town underwater. Today, you can see the ruins of a few buildings and a "ghost forest" of dead trees flooded by saltwater. Portage now serves as a junction for the Seward Highway, Alaska Railroad, Portage Glacier park, and the Anton Anderson Memorial Tunnel to Whittier.
