Alaska Railroad

Riding the Alaska Railroad is such a beautiful, special travel experience. Whether you’re using it as actual transportation or if you just want to enjoy the sights along the way, it’s a pretty spectacular ride. With routes from Seward to Anchorage, from the cruise port in Whittier to downtown, or even the whistle-stop train that continues up to Denali National Park and ends in Fairbanks, the Alaska Railroad is a wonderful experience.

Also, did you know that there is a special winter train, the Aurora Winter Route that makes limited stops and is all about the scenery from Fairbanks to Anchorage? It’s true and it’s awesome!
