Getting around

Most of the state is not connected by road. Pick the machine that matches the region: car, train, ferry, park bus, or a haul road you should not invent a shortcut on.

• Drive the Seward Highway

  The 125 miles from Anchorage to Seward along Turnagain Arm and into the mountains.

• Ride the Alaska Railroad

  A dome car between Anchorage and Seward, or Anchorage and Fairbanks.

• Ride the Alaska Marine Highway

  The state ferry through the Inside Passage, with or without a car.

• Ride into Denali National Park

  A bus on the park road, which is how almost everyone sees the mountain and the animals.

• Drive to the Arctic Circle

  The Dalton Highway north of Fairbanks, gravel, long, and short on services.
