Denali National Park

An Alaskan Jewel

Getting to Denali

Denali National Park entrance is 240 miles north of Anchorage and 120 miles south of Fairbanks. You can get to Denali by way of the scenic Alaska Railroad, taking a comfortable motor coach, a rental car, or by chartering a small plane. Unfortunately, there are noSmall map of the Alaska Highway system regularly scheduled commercial flights to Denali National Park. Each transportation option has its advantages and most Alaska vacation travelers combine two options for variety and flexibility.

The Alaska Railroad offers plenty of scenery at a leisurely, comfortable pace. The train from Fairbanks to Denali National Park arrives in time for a same-day connection with our many lodge busses. This option is great for creating a north-to-south itinerary starting in Fairbanks that cuts out any backtracking from Anchorage-based itineraries.

The motor coach option is great for travelers that don’t have much time, because it is the only one that allows same-day transfers from cruise ships all the way to Denali National Park. The coach begins in Seward, stops in Anchorage, and proceeds on to Denali. If you want to travel at your own pace, car rentals are available at both major airports in Fairbanks and in Anchorage.
