2025 McKinley Explorer Train Schedule

Below is the current McKinley Explorer train schedule. The McKinley Explorer operates between Anchorage, Talkeetna, and Denali National Park on a slightly different schedule from the Alaska Railroad's Denali Star train and the Wilderness Express. This makes it a great choice for those travelers looking to depart Anchorage later or return to Anchorage earlier than the Alaska Railroad.
