 Travel Alaska's scenic byways on the Alaska Park Connection coach
service. Featuring comfortable coaches and strategically scheduled daily
runs, the Park Connection makes best use of your limited vacation time
as you travel through spectacular wilderness areas including Denali
National Park, Chugach National Forest, Denali State Park and Chugach
State Park.
The Seward Highway south of Anchorage is the state's only
recognized National Scenic Byway. Little wonder -- the drive down
Turnagain Arm, over Turnagain and Moose Passes, on past Trail and Kenai
Lakes is spectacular and awe-inspiring.
North of Anchorage the route
follows the Parks highway through Denali State Park, where some of the
best views of Mt. McKinley can be seen.
We offer three schedules to meet your needs, including two trips daily
in both directions between Denali and Anchorage, as well as Anchorage
and Seward.
The Park to Park service is the only transportation link
available which allows travel between Denali or Talkeetna and Seward
(either direction) in a single day. Visitors who have already spent time
in Anchorage will appreciate this money saving feature.
The
Seward Express service is great for passengers traveling to Seward
for the day to take a Kenai Fjords National Park cruise. |
