6. Ride The Alaska Railroad Through The Wilderness

Climb aboard the Alaska Railroad, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Travel from Seward to Fairbanks. Enjoy stops at places like Talkeetna, Anchorage, and, of course, Denali National Park.  

You’ll get some great pictures of the distinct coastline from the popular second-level outdoor viewing platform. Take in the view of the icy, snow-capped mountains, deep gorgeous gorges, and wildlife. Trained tour guides will even be narrating the entire trip.

 

7. Explore Anchorage

Too many travelers simply fly in and fly out of Anchorage. They get a rental and drive south to the striking Kenai Peninsula or head north to Denali. Veteran visitors, however, can confirm that there’s a good reason why half of Alaska’s residents live in Anchorage. Here you can explore the Anchorage Museum, hike in nearby Chugach State Park, go bicycling on the town trails, dine at exceptional eateries, and go fishing for king salmon in the urban fishery Ship Creek.
