Local Secrets, Big Finds 2007 Pick

  • January 16, 2008
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Local Secrets from New York, New York
For those who believe that the journey truly is the destination, a trip on one of America’s last flag stop trains is an experience not to be missed. Join the locals, who "pile on with dogs, rifles, and groceries, for the 55-mile run to Hurricane Gulch, "the highest bridge in Alaska." With ample time to talk to the folks who live in the wilderness north of Talkneeta, you’ll get a unique perspective on the history of the area, while watching for bear or moose. "And keep your fingers crossed the train is running a little ahead of schedule; if it is, the engineer will stop the train in a canyon alongside the Indian River and let passengers get out for pictures."
