This Alaska tour is a dream come true for value-minded travelers seeking to experience Alaska's breathtaking scenery and untamed wilderness. You'll start and end your tour in Anchorage and also have overnights in Denali National Park and Valdez. In between destinations, you'll have the opportunity to witness scenery unlike anywhere else, with the chance for exciting wildlife sightings. Begin your adventure boarding the world-famous Alaska Railroad to Talkeetna, a quaint example of small-town Alaska. On this train trip, you’ll travel through Alaska’s natural wonders and begin to understand its allure. Continue by coach for two nights to Denali National Park and Preserve and have the opportunity to explore this majestic park, home to six million acres and North America's highest peak . Perhaps go for a hike or participate in an optional outing, such as a wilderness tour to seek out grizzly bear, moose, caribou, and more. Or take to the skies for exhilarating views from above on an optional flightseeing tour. Witness stunning panoramic vistas as you travel through the interior of Alaska across the Denali Highway, a very seldom-traveled road. Proceed over the top of Thompson Pass and into Valdez, nicknamed “Alaska’s Switzerland” due to the striking landscapes reminiscent of the Swiss Alps. Enjoy a stroll along the waterfront with views of the mountains and colorful harbor filled with fishing boats. Board an unforgettable cruise across magnificent Prince William Sound taking in the three-mile face of the Mears Glacier and the pristine blue water while watching for marine wildlife, such as otters, seals, and whales. Return to Anchorage and enjoy city sightseeing and a visit to the Anchorage Museum celebrating Alaska’s Native cultural heritage. With spectacular scenery, wildlife watching, and awe-inspiring experiences, this is a once-in-a-lifetime Alaska vacation!
