What better way to see and experience Alaska than on a luxury train journey, sliding through the countryside and soaking up the views as you are pampered in style! The Glacier Discovery Train travels south from Anchorage along Turnagain Arm towards Grandview, letting you take in the breathtaking natural scenery and glaciers of Whittier, Spencer Lake and the Chugach Mountains along the way. Guest can go on a glacier cruise in Whittier or head out onto Spencer Lake for hiking, rafting or canoe trips. Visitors may explore the alpine regions of the Chugach Mountains, and see glacial runoff and snowmelt that plummets down the mountain faces in thundering waterfalls before reaching the final destination of Grandview. Once in Grandview, one of the most scenic areas of the entire journey, guests can go on a day rail tour into the historic "loop district", home to spectacular alpine scenery, wildflower and wildlife sanctuaries.
