Fairbanks to Anchorage with Alaska Railroad

Railbookers operates this 5-day, 4-night independent rail package that travels between two Alaska cities: Fairbanks and Anchorage. The trip starts with a sightseeing tour of Fairbanks, described as covering the city's history, before travelers board the Alaska Railroad for the journey to Anchorage. Along the way, the description says the train passes the Alaska Range and Chugach Mountains, running alongside rivers and canyons. In Anchorage, the trip includes a flightseeing tour over the Alaskan wilderness, with views of mountains and glaciers from the air. As an independent rather than an escorted package, Railbookers arranges the train travel and named activities while travelers otherwise make their own way. No day-by-day itinerary is published, so how the four nights divide between Fairbanks and Anchorage is not detailed. This suits travelers drawn to Alaska's mountain and glacier scenery who want a short rail-based introduction to the state without a long, multi-week itinerary.
