Note: for a round trip, add the Denali to Anchorage train or view all of our Alaska Railroad routes.

This daily route spans two of Alaska's five geographic regions - Southcentral and Interior Alaska. On a clear day, passengers enjoy sights of the train's namesake peak: Denali, the tallest mountain in North America.

Traveling between Anchorage and Talkeetna, the train crosses the Knik River with the Chugach Mountains as a backdrop. Just south of Talkeetna, watch for views of Denali rising high above the Susitna River. North of Talkeetna, the tracks veer away from the road system and into the backcountry Hurricane area; this region offers views of the snaking Indian River, the occasional remote cabin and the expansive sight of Hurricane Gulch from the top of a 296-foot bridge.

Just south of Denali National Park, Broad Pass offers majestic views of the Alaska Range in all directions.
