Denali National Park and the Arctic Circle with Alaska Railroad

Independent Alaska Railroad journey from Anchorage to Denali and Fairbanks

Railbookers operates this independent rail package through Alaska over 7 days and 6 nights, starting in Anchorage and finishing in Fairbanks. After time in Anchorage, travelers board the Alaska Railroad for the journey to Denali National Park, where the route pushes deep into the park toward Kantishna for views of Denali and a chance to watch for wildlife along the way. From Denali, the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star continues north to Fairbanks. Because this is an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers move between stops largely on their own schedule rather than following a tour director. It suits travelers who want to see Alaska's interior by rail without joining a group tour, and who are comfortable arranging some of their own time in each town. Prices start from $2,149 per person.
