Day 1: ANCHORAGE
Welcome to Anchorage! Your Tour Director is on hand from 3-8:00 p.m. to answer any questions.Once settled into your downtown hotel, perhaps venture out and start exploring Anchorage. There are lots of interesting shops and restaurants nearby or maybe take a stroll on the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail that runs along the waterfront.
Day 2: ANCHORAGE–ALASKA RAILROAD TALKEETNA–DENALI NATIONAL PARK
This morning, board the world-famous Alaska Railroad for a memorable train journey to Talkeetna, the jumping-off point for climbers attempting to summit Denali, formerly known as Mount McKinley. Denali is the highest peak in North America at 20,310 feet. Enjoy strolling along the shops in downtown or take a walk to the river. Then early this afternoon, journey to Denali National Park and Preserve for a 2-night stay.
Day 3: DENALI NATIONAL PARK
Denali National Park and Preserve majestically dominates the park’s six million acres. Enjoy a free day for independent activities; a hike along the many wilderness trails might be of interest. Perhaps take advantage of several exciting optional outings, including a wildlife tour to spot grizzly bears, caribou, moose, and Dall sheep; a Denali photography excursion; a raft trip down the Nenana River; or an exhilarating flightseeing tour over the park. Your Tour Director will have plenty of suggestions.
Day 4: DENALI NATIONAL PARK–THOMPSON PASS–VALDEZ
Relish one last look at the outstanding scenery and wildlife of Denali before traveling across the Denali Highway. This seldom-traveled road, the first road to allow access to Denali National Park, is in the true wilderness and offers the opportunity for frequent wildlife sightings and amazing views of the Alaska Range. Next, climb over the top of Thompson Pass, well-known for its annual winter snowfall which averages 46 feet but, in the summer, offers unforgettable views. End today’s journey in the town of Valdez, nestled between the waterfront and mountains, giving it the nickname, Alaska’s Little Switzerland.
Day 5: VALDEZ–PRINCE WILLIAM SOUND–WHITTIER–ANCHORAGE
Embark on a cruise across magnificent Prince William Sound to explore the three-mile face of the mighty Meares Glacier and hear tales of the region as told by the Alaskan crew. Keep your eyes open and cameras ready for marine wildlife such as otters, seals, and whales while viewing spectacular glaciers and scenery. Return to Anchorage, Alaska’s largest city.
Day 6: ANCHORAGE
This morning, enjoy a city sightseeing tour of Anchorage, with a visit to the Anchorage Museum where you will see a fascinating display of artifacts of the native people of Alaska. The rest of the day is free for independent exploring.
