10. DENALI STAR, ALASKA, USA<\/a><\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Denali Star, the Alaska Railroad’s flagship train, links Anchorage to Fairbanks with stops in Wasilla, Talkeetna and Denali Park. On this route, sparkling salmon streams and stands of birch and spruce come into view, while carpets of fireweed add dramatic purple to the landscape. Like the name implies, Denali National Park – one of the\u00a0most spectacular National Parks in the USA<\/a>\u00a0– is really the star attraction of the Alaska Railroad’s Denali Star Route. You might get lucky and see a bear, moose or caribou. And look out for what native Alaskans call ‘The Great One’: the 20,156 feet (6,144\u00a0m) tall Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain peak in North America.<\/p>\n
