Denali Express with Alaska Railroad

Round-trip Alaska Railroad journey from Anchorage to Denali

Railbookers runs this six-day, five-night independent rail package that is a round trip on the Alaska Railroad between Anchorage and Denali National Park. After exploring Anchorage, travelers board the train for the scenic journey to Denali, where a day is spent venturing deep into the park's wilderness, described as the point where forest gives way to high alpine tundra and snowcapped mountains. The trip then returns to Anchorage onboard the train. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers plan their own days and are not accompanied by a tour manager. It suits independent travelers who want to see Denali National Park's landscape from the Alaska Railroad without a longer, multi-park itinerary.
