GETTING THERE
Air, sea or land - these are the three basic ways to get to, and around Alaska. Most fly into the The Land of the Midnight Sun, others come by cruise line or state ferry ( Alaska Marine Highway System ), some by rail, and a few arrive by highway.
With a less extensive number of international carriers than Anchorage, Fairbanks International Airport, three miles southwest of downtown Fairbank nevertheless offers service to Europe, the Far East, Canada, and the US.
By car, Alaska’s first highway, the 368-mile Richardson Highway (Alaska Route 4 and 2) connects Fairbanks with Valdez, and the 358-mile George Parks Highway (Alaska Route 3) links Faribanks to Anchorage. The most direct route between Fairbanks and Anchorage is the Parks Highway which also serves Denali National Park.
By train, the Alaska Railroad plies the route between Seward in the Gulf of Alaska to Fairbanks and offers stops along the way including Anchorage, Wasilla and Denali National Park.
