The is the site of an old WWII fort and big guns that overlooked the entrance to Resurection Bay, where Seward is located. Resurection Bay was an important port in WWII, because it was deep and was connected to Anchorage and Fairbanks by train. The only way to get here, is by boat, there are no roads. It is now a state park. Further proof that Alaska has not been child proofed, you can climb up the hill and wander around inside the bunkers and fort. The fort is really creepy, because it is dark (the guide had brought a flash light) but there are still large open pits and things to fall into and kill yourself. I was shocked that it wasn't sealed shut.
