Alaska Railroad Day Trips
Approachable adventures within an easy day trip from Anchorage thanks to the closeness of Alaska's untamed wilds and access provided by the Alaska Railroad. Here's what we recommend:
- Alaska Railroad Grandview Valley Day Trip - Runs daily roundtrip from Anchorage to Grandview Pass on the Kenai Peninsula. The scenic ride is perfect for rail enthusiasts.
- Alaska Railroad Spencer Glacier Day Trip - Takes the same route, stopping about 10 miles short of Grandview at the Spencer Glacier Whistle Stop. From here you can disembark the train and explore the area on your own or, better yet, take a Spencer Glacier Iceberg Float. The return train to Anchorage comes through the whistlestop around 4:30 PM. There are also fully guided day trips like Spencer Glacier Bears, Trains, and Icebergs that spend a little more time in this remote spot.
- Alaska Railroad Day Trip to Seward - Go one way by train and one way by deluxe motorcoach with time day cruising, kayaking, or hiking while in Seward.
- Alaska Railroad Day Trip to Talkeetna - Go one way by train and one way by deluxe motorcoach with time day flightseeing, jet boating, or ziplining while in Talkeetna.
- Alaska Railroad Anchorage to Whittier Roundtrip - Pairs with a glacier day cruise in Prince William Sound.
Some of these ideas have a few moving parts. We can help coordinate tickets, tours, and logistics, just give us a shout.
