Illustration of Glaciers, Trains & Trails of Alaska

Vacations By Rail's Glaciers, Trains & Trails of Alaska is a 10-day independent rail vacation that takes you through some of Alaska's most remote and scenic regions. Starting in Anchorage, you travel on your own following a planned itinerary through Seward, Girdwood, and on to Talkeetna. Along the way, you encounter glaciers, backcountry wilderness, and trails that showcase the state's outdoor character. This trip suits independent travellers who prefer to explore on their own schedule rather than as part of a guided group. You will need to arrange your own transport between accommodations and trails, and navigate daily activities without a tour manager.
