As promised, here are more photos from my recent visit to Denali National Park. To get to the park we took the Alaska Railroad.
It was a great way to see the scenery and relax on the 8 hour trip from Anchorage to Denali like this:
and this.
Each car features huge glass windows for excellent observation.
And when hunger pangs hit you can enjoy a tasty meal while watching the Alaskan wilderness pass by.
