Alaska Railroad Hurricane Turn RoundTrip Talkeetna - Hurricane Flagstop Same Day

4.7(58)Rated 4.7 out of 5 from 58 reviews6 h 15 minBy Alaska Railroad Corporation
Alaska Railroad Hurricane Turn Train

About this activity

It’s a train like no other. Departing from Talkeetna, the Hurricane Turn Train leaves civilization behind and makes a round-trip journey through the wilds of the Indian River Valley. Along the way, passengers may take advantage of the Hurricane’s unique flagstop service to get on or off the train anywhere along this backcountry route (due to the nature of this service, scheduled stop times may vary).

Locals have long loved the Hurricane for access to remote cabins, hunting and fishing, while visitors consider this train the Alaska Railroad’s best-kept secret for a truly authentic Alaskan experience – not to mention the panoramic views at the train’s turnaround point, Hurricane Gulch. On a clear day, Denali towers over the braided Susitna River.
