Denali Star
Salmon streams, birch forests and Sarah Palin’s hometown are all highlights along Alaska’s premier railway line, running from Anchorage to Fairbanks. The journey covers over 350 miles of wonderfully unspoilt Alaskan tundra, and you can hop out at Denali National Park for spectacular hiking, trekking and climbing. Keep your eyes peeled for wolves, caribou, moose and bear, and have the camera handy for the spectacular views of Mt McKinley (or Denali), North America’s highest mountain.
Journey time 11 hours 45 minutes, from £121. More information here.
