YouTube Video Description

We are on a glass-roof train cutting through the Alaskan wilderness on our way to board Discovery Princess in Whittier — and this might be the most beautiful five hours of the entire trip. This is Part 3 of our Princess Alaska CruiseTour series, covering McKinley Lodge, Talkeetna, the Princess train, and our honest verdict on whether the land portion is worth doing before your cruise. We cover: ✦ The drive from Denali to McKinley Princess Wilderness Lodge — one of the most beautiful views of the whole trip ✦ Talkeetna — base camp for Denali climbers and Alaskan charm ✦ Seeing the peak of Denali — only about 30% of visitors ever do, and it is twice the size of anything else you'll see in the range ✦ The treehouse built by Treehouse Masters from HGTV ✦ The glass-roof Princess train from Talkeetna to Whittier — all the details ✦ The wildlife we saw on the way — moose, mountain goats and our first glimpse of the Alaskan coastline ✦ Checking into Discovery Princess on the train — the unexpected perk ✦ Our honest pros and cons of the Princess Cruisetour land portion — what we loved, what we would change and whether we would do it again 🚢 Catch up on the rest of the series: Part 1 — Planning Your Princess Alaska CruiseTour Part 2 — Fairbanks & Denali National Park Coming up: Boarding Discovery Princess and our full 7-night cruise from Whittier to Vancouver. 🏔️ Planning an Alaska cruise or CruiseTour?
