Alaska - Alaska Railroad

We returned to Anchorage via the Alaska Railroad, departing from inside Denali National Park. The train was surprisingly luxurious and despite the fact that the trip took almost 8 hours, it was a beautiful way to experience the scenery and landscape of interior Alaska. One of the most amazing things was seeing Denali from the train. For the entire day, the peaks of Denali were completely visible, which is highly unusual.

A few hours into the train ride, and the peaks were still visible.

When the scenery got a bit monotonous, Emily passed the time reading.

Hours into the ride, and the view was still unobstructed and breathtaking.
