Scenic Train Tours

What better way is there to sightsee than to take one of the many scenic train tours that are offered practically in every country of the world. This enables a person the ability to relax, kick back, ride the rails, and simply enjoy the sights.

Lets begin with Alaska. Alaska is quite simply, beautiful. There are glaciers and mountains. Pristine waters and wildlife unseen to most people. These are some of the items that one would be able to explore when taking one of these very scenic trips. For example, The "Alaska Indulgence" tour offers a twelve day and eleven night extravaganza of views. It begins in Fairbanks and starts with a plane ride over the Arctic Circle where one will land and explore an outpost that is located in the extreme wilderness. Then, after spending the night, one will fly back to begin their train excursion. From Fairbanks, the train will take you through breathtaking landscapes to Denali where you will stay for the next couple of days in the Denali Backwoods Lodge. This will allow a person the ability to do what they would like to do from hunting and fishing, to even panning for gold. After all, this is part of where the Klondike rush area. Consider this also, this is only day three and four of your twelve days. There is much ahead of you too. But, explaining it all would take away the surprises that lay ahead and therefore, this tour description will end here. However, we will add that there are cruises as well as more flying to look forward to.

The Canadian "Totem Rail Explorer" is also a twelve day and eleven night trip too. This includes cities such as Vancouver, Baniff, and Jasper. There is an Icefields Parkway tour included as is hotels and ferry cruises. They also add in an exclusive attractions pass which will allow one to take advantages of some of the best things that the cities have to offer. Things like the Baniff Upper Hot Springs, the Calgary Tower, the Jasper tramway, and quite a few more.

There is beauty and mystic in either of these tours. But, they are certainly not the only tours that are offered. There are many more that offer the ability to relax and take in the sights in both Alaska as well as Canada. Also, the western continental United States offers many of these scenic train tours too. So, consider these when the sightseeing bug bites and you will most definitely be glad that you did.
