The Alaska Railroad offers daily summer operations from Anchorage, Denali, and Fairbanks. The also offer limited winter operations to Talkeetna. These trains are the last flag stop trains in the US!

What is there to do in the Off-Season?

Winters in Alaska can be long but there is plenty to do for both visitors and locals. Talkeetna is the perfect location to view the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis), try a bit of snowshoing or cross country skiing, or enjoy a flight over the spectacular Alaska Range.

Mountaineering

Per the NPS Website, climbing Denali is a very serious undertaking and should be treated as such. Denali is an expedition, meaning that the mountain is almost always a multi-week endeavor, which is very different than an overnight or even multi-day climb. All team members should have previous experience in the "expedition environment." Also, Denali is a very cold place. Experience with winter camping in arctic type conditions is extremely valuable and should be considered mandatory. Last but not least, Denali is a high mountain, and some previous experience with altitude and acclimatization is very helpful. The National Park Service offers briefings, maps and firsthand knowledge of intricate climbing routes. Chinook Wind Cabins is an ideal location for pre or post Denali expeditions.
