Day 1: Whittier - Anchorage
After arriving in Whittier, you'll be transferred to your day-boat for the
memorable Phillips 26 Glacier cruise. This is a place you have to see to believe
with towering cliffs, thundering waterfalls and wildlife galore. After you're
unforgettable cruise, you'll enjoy a scenic transfer to Alaska's largest city,
Anchorage, via Alaska Railroad.
Day 2: Anchorage – Talkeetna
This morning depart Anchorage by motor coach and sightsee the George Parks
Highway to the rustic town of Talkeetna. Upon arrival, relax and take in
Talkeetna's storied Mt. McKinley views and enjoy one of many optional Talkeenta
activities.
Day 3: Talkeetna – Denali
After a morning at leisure, board the McKinley Explorer to continue your
journey to Denali National Park. With the Alaska Range on one side and the
Talkeetna mountains on the other, the views from your luxurious, glass-domed
railcar are stunning; if you're fortunate, you'll catch sight of Mt. McKinley
through the glass dome of your railcar. During the trip, relax with a cocktail
in the observation lounge and take in the panorama from the open-air platform.
If you happen to be there when the train crosses Hurricane Gulch you'll get a
real thrill when you look over the trestle to the creek hundreds of feet below
you.
Tonight you could be regaled with a bounteous dinner and homespun entertainment
if you choose the optional Cabin Nite Dinner Theatre. Sleep snugly and dream of
the wildlife you'll see tomorrow.

This afternoon, you'll travel south along the George Parks Highway via deluxe
motor coach to Alaska's largest city, Anchorage.
