Alaska Railroad Depot

Hotels near Alaska Railroad Depot, Anchorage, United States .

One of the most extensive and scenic railroads in the whole United States, The Alaska Railroad stretches all the way from Fairbanks to Seward, covering 500 miles of harsh and beautiful terrain. For travelers interested in seeing a piece of history up-close, The Alaska Railroad Depot in Anchorage is a great place to visit.

Located just a short drive from downtown, this station, built over a hundred years ago, currently serves as a stop for the trains, but the real draw if you're not setting off on a train ride is the view. In addition to the totem pole and old-fashioned locomotive sitting out front, there are plenty of things worth snapping photos in the surrounding mountains. From here, the view across the inlet to Sleeping Lady is almost unparalleled.

For travelers looking to explore the rustic nature around Anchorage, The Alaska Railroad Depot is right next to the Coastal Trail, which provides a lovely hike around the mountains in the area. For travelers who aren't looking to set out on a long hike, there's a shuttle service that operates during daylight hours and takes travelers up to the station from downtown. The Railroad Depot's schedule varies, according on when the trains are running, so check the train schedule if you're planning on stopping in for a visit.
