Day One
Travel from Anchorage to Denali aboard the Alaska Railroad’s adventure-class cars! Ride the Denali Star Rail passing by unique towns like Wasilla, Talkeetna, and the once-stopover rail town of Curry where weary travelers came to rest on the trip from Anchorage to Fairbanks. Enjoy the dramatic views of Denali on a clear day from Hurricane Gulch – keep your camera out because if Denali is visible along the route, it is a beautiful sight to see! Your overnight stay at the Grande Denali Lodge perched on Sugarloaf Mountain provides beautiful views of the canyon below. Your room is a non-view Standard with two beds and a private bath.
Day Two
Today is your full-day adventure into Denali National Park. Traveling 92 miles into the park to the historic Kantishna Gold Mining area at the end of the road! This 13 to 14-hour Wilderness Experience offers a wonderful diversity for visitors. Incredible scenery, a narrated history of the park road and some of the best opportunities to view the park’s wildlife inhabitants await you on this tour. Your guide will narrate for you along a spectacular road corridor, promising different experiences every day, as Denali’s wildlife moves at its own pace and according to the seasons. A full view of Mt. McKinley is a rare treat in Denali National Park and Preserve. Your tour will continue beyond the Eielson Visitors Center and Wonder Lake to the historic gold mine region of Kantishna. There you will enjoy some leisure time off of the bus for a lodge deli lunch and a stroll around the area. You can even try your luck at some authentic gold panning! Consider adding a scenic flight back to the park entrance in an Alaska bush plane. This scenic flight will cut your day tour timing significantly and also allow you to enjoy the views from the air of Denali and the Alaska Range!
Day Three
This morning take the hotel shuttle to the Denali Rail Depot for check-in aboard Adventure Class on the Denali Star Rail. Consider upgrading to Gold Star Service for your return trip back into Anchorage!
