Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the Denali star it takes 12 hours from Fairbanks to Anchorage through 350 Mi of Alaska's rugged interior

the greatest feature of course are the massive windows and you'll be taking in some pretty incredible scenery through them

this was an absolutely fantastic way to travel through Alaska's interior I'd do it again in a heartbeat

traveling in gold star made it even more special if you find yourself in Alaska you absolutely have to consider a journey on board Alaska railroads
