We took the train from Fairbanks down to Anchorage, stopping off to stay near Denali National Park along the way. The park was a blast! We didn't see the mountain, though, because it was overcast. But we saw tons of wildlife from the school bus that drives you through to safely view the grizzlies. Took the ferry down the Inland Passage to Seattle on the way back. Saw whales and lots of great scenery on the ferry.
