Denali National Park with Alaska Railroad Northbound

Independent Alaska Railroad journey north through Talkeetna and Denali to Fairbanks

Railbookers operates this independent rail package traveling north through Alaska over 8 days and 7 nights, from Anchorage to Talkeetna, Denali National Park and Fairbanks. After time in Anchorage, travelers board the Alaska Railroad for the trip to Talkeetna, described as the gateway to Denali, then continue on to Denali National Park itself. From Denali, the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star continues north to Fairbanks, a town the description ties to Alaska's Gold Rush history. As an independent package rather than an escorted tour, travelers manage their own time between stops rather than following a tour director. It suits travelers who want to see interior Alaska by rail, with an extra stop in Talkeetna, without joining a group tour. Prices start from $2,499 per person.
