Whats the best way to get to Talkeetna?
Sandy: “A lot of people take the train, maybe as a day trip.” Geri: “Independent travelers have a car—there’s greater flexibility. You can drive up to Denali, then down to Talkeetna for a day, then back down to Anchorage.” Christy: “I recommend driving. The train only goes one direction each day, so you couldn’t do a day trip as easily. If there weather’s bad in Talkeetna, you could drive up to Denali.” NOTE: K2 and their sister company Rust’s Flying Service offer year—round charters, but no scheduled runs, between Anchorage and Talkeetna. Talkeetna Aero Services offers scheduled runs from Talkeetna up to Denali Park.
