Itinerary
Detailed day by day information
Day 1: Anchorage
Arrive in vibrant, eclectic Anchorage and spend the night. Anchorage is a modern city surrounded by spectacular wilderness with adventures just steps from the hotel. Home to Alaska's largest selection of quality Alaska Native art and souvenirs such as finely crafted ivory, Native masks, and carved jade, there are many opportunities to shop and find that perfect souvenir. After you’ve shopped to your heart’s delight, sit down for a sumptuous meal. Anchorage has access to some of the freshest seafood in the world, which Alaska chefs offer up in a variety of mouth-watering creations; from plump, cold-water Kachemak Bay oysters, to Alaska king crab, fresh-caught halibut, and wild Alaska salmon – the staple of Alaska seafood, Anchorage has it all! And no sales tax!

Day 2: Anchorage to Denali
Board the Denali Star Train for your journey to Denali. With six million acres, Denali National Park & Preserve is larger than Massachusetts. Located in the heart of Alaska’s magnificent and rugged interior, the park is home to majestic Mt. McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain. The Park also features glaciers, a sub-arctic ecosystem and an internationally designated biosphere preserve with moose, caribou, Dall sheep, grizzly bears and wolves. Stay the night in Denali, and enjoy an evening of dinner theater before turning in for the night.

Day 3: Denali to Talkeetna
Take the morning Tundra Wilderness Tour into Denali National Park. Spend a day and travel some 60 miles into the wilderness of Denali National Park and the heart of bear country. On the fully-guided tour, you’ll get interpretation from your driver/guide, along with hours of wildlife spotting and spectacular scenery. If the weather cooperates, you’ll see Mount McKinley up close. Afterward, fly around Mt. McKinley with Talkeetna Aero Services before landing in Talkeetna. Spend the night at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.

Day 4: Talkeetna to Anchorage
Devil’s Canyon Tour - travel 130 miles roundtrip through Denali State Park and into the National Wild River Park of “Devil’s Gorge,” where only a few have ventured, upon the Denali Star Train, then on to Anchorage. Tour includes lunch. Overnight in Anchorage.

Day 5: Anchorage
Board the Glacier Discovery Train and travel to Spencer Glacier. Float among the icebergs at the glacier, and enjoy a deli-style lunch. Short train ride to Portage follows the float tour, where a motor coach transfer takes you back Anchorage.
