If you get a chance to visit Alaska someday, save a day or two to travel on the Alaska Railroad! We took a twelve hour trip from Fairbanks to Anchorage last Sunday. In the wintertime, there is regular passenger service on this line on the weekends. Backpackers, skiiers, hikers, anyone can flag down the train to catch a ride. The train also stops for dall sheep and caribou sightings, and, if the day is clear (rare), it will stop often for you to take pictures of Mt. McKinley/Denali.
Warm and toasty on the inside and frigid, below 0F on the outside.
