Denali to Anchorage

We boarded the Alaska Railroad's luxurious McKinley Explorer for our 8 hour journey to Anchorage.  The views from the rails were spectacular and covered terrain not accessible by car.  The rail cars were custom built for the Alaska Railroad to provide the utmost visibility and comfort to tourists traveling to Denali National Park.  A well-informed guide provided commentary which enhanced our experience by alerting us to points of interest and providing information about Alaska and the local environment.  It was a long ride but went quickly due to the ever changing scenery.
