The McKinley Explorer® Premier Rail Experience
Why Guests Love the McKinley Explorer® Train
Sit back and relax as pure Alaska wilderness rolls by. Cross the dramatic Hurricane Gulch and travel through Broad Pass while a guide narrates the experience. Watch breathlessly as the clouds part, and Mt. Denali appears on the horizon. While the scenery is as rugged as it gets, the train offers unparalleled comfort and service.
Dining & Drinks
Enjoy exquisite dishes with regional influence, such as bison short rib sandwiches and reindeer chili, served in the lavish dining car during breakfast and lunch. In each car, bartenders mix unique cocktails with spruce tip gin while guests sit back and drink in the views.
Routes & Options
The McKinley Explorer® is our train and routes are tailored for our guests' convenience. We have routes between Anchorage and Denali, and routes that go between the ship in Whittier and Denali.
