Alaska Rails & Trails

Alaska Railroad is launching a new adventure package tour for the 2011 season.

The 10-day, Rails and Trails package will take travelers to Anchorage, Seward, Girdwood and Talkeetna by train.

The package will include rail transportation and hotel accommodations in the four destinations.

Unscheduled days will give independent travelers the freedom to explore.

Additional travel options will include:

• Paddling Resurrection Bay by kayak;
• Guided hikes or dog mushing atop a glacier;
• Rafting among the icebergs of Spencer Glacier or
• Flightseeing around Mount McKinley, North America’s highest peak.

Travelers can upgrade their trip with Alaska Railroad’s GoldStar Service, which has double-deck dome cars with reserved seating; dining service; a full-time bar attendant and a private outdoor viewing platform.
