    Getting TO/AROUND: Anchorage has an international airport and is serviced by all major carriers. Some people choose to come on cruiseship, and some drive the AlaCan Highway. We are a long way away but you can get here if you want.

    Getting TO/AROUND: The train is part of America's heritage. Leave the driving to them and enjoy the scenery. Alaska RailRoad is eyecatching with its royal blue and gold motif. Be sure to get a "Ride Guide" for details of the scenery by mile post for $5.

    Getting TO/AROUND: I took the Aurora train from Anchorage to Fairbanks then on to the Chena Hot Springs. The same day there was a Nordic Ski / Snowshow train to Curry. It looked like great fun.

    Be sure to get a "Ride Guide" for $5 details on your trip by milepost and great pictures!

    Getting TO/AROUND: OK, this is not so much an Anchorage tip, unless you are entered in the Iditerod, but Alaskans do occationally travel by dog sled.
