Alaska Railroad Denali Park to Anchorage

This midday departure leaves time in the morning for one more tour before leaving the Denali area. We recommend taking advantage of the chance to take a guided hike or even a scenic raft trip before boarding your train for Anchorage. Some tour operators provide convenient drop-offs at the depot. One more tip: Keep a warm layer handy for the Denali depot, as you’ll be waiting outdoors. 

Your train trip south starts with a 121 mile ride from Denali Park to the next top in Talkeetna. If you took a morning scenic raft trip, you’ll see portions of the river that you floated as you head south from Denali. Read the full Denali Park to Talkeetna route guide.

Leaving Talkeetna after a short stop, with weather permitting you’ll be treated to some beautiful Denali views from the right side of the train. Enjoy the ride, it’s an especially scenic trip this time of day. Read the full Talkeetna to Anchorage route guide.
