Picturesque landscapes along the route

Departing Seward, the train travels into the backcountry wilderness - and what many consider to be the most scenic stretch of the entire Railbelt. After a brief stop in Girdwood, we'll wind our way along Turnagain Arm, where the steep mountains of the Chugach Range plunge directly to the sea before reaching our final destination of Anchorage.
