Bus Anchorage to Talkeetna

The route heads north on the Glenn and Parks Highways, past Wasilla, and through the small community of Willow.

The ride concludes in under three hours.

The Park Connection bus line operates two trips daily from Anchorage to Talkeetna. The early morning Denali Express route departs from the Dena'ina Civic Center in downtown Anchorage and drops passengers off at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge and downtown Talkeetna. This route is a perfect option for travelers booked on Denali flightseeing trips or local Talkeetna day tours later in the day. The trip can also be combined with a return motorcoach or train ride for a day trip out of Anchorage.

The afternoon Park to Park route also leaves from the downtown Dena'ina Civic Center. This route only drops passengers at the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge.

More Details

The Park Connection runs a fleet of modern 52-seat Prevost motorcoaches. Passengers onboard enjoy comfortable reclining seats equipped with seatbelts, footrests, armrests, and outlets. Seating is first-come, first-served. There is one lavatory located in the rear of the bus. Large luggage is stowed by Park Connection staff in lower bays. Guests can store their smaller items in overhead bins.

Park Connection drivers provide casual commentary on the surrounding area, keeping it light to give passengers time to relax and enjoy the picturesque wonder of Alaska's landscape. Photo stops may be made at the driver's discretion as weather and time permits.
