Great Alaska Train Adventure From a beautiful American rail journey, these unforgettable trips explore America's last frontier, including the glaciers of Seward, the gold rush lands of Fairbanks, and Denali (Mount McKinley). Alaskan residents call their state "The Last Frontier," and for good reason. The Alaska Railroad takes tourists to areas within the state that few people have ever set foot in. Alaska has a completely different way of life, suited to independent types who are willing to turn their backs on most of society and endure harsh winters and remote locations. Passengers on the Alaska Railroad can see the magnificent Turnagain Arm, a sea inlet only accessible by rail, and glaciers, orcas, and sea lions in Resurrection Bay on their way from Anchorage to Seward. The second leg of the tour is Fairbanks, visiting Talkeetna, the model for the TV show "Northern Exposure," Denali (Mount McKinley), and Denali National Park. Those who undertake this journey will be treated to dramatic scenery not found in the contiguous 48 states. It will be an unforgettable trip. For the people who live in this area, the ARR provides local passenger service and is a lifeline for residents along the line. It unloads supplies and transports residents to town to replenish their food. "Great Alaska Train Adventure," packed with archival railway footage and interviews with Alaskan residents, offers a fascinating introduction to the northernmost state and is sure to resonate with railway fans and travel enthusiasts. -- Jerry Renshaw #DVD Taishi 2 Search for this to see my DVD listings, etc. 9022 2
