We also offer fun tours to go along with the scenic train ride. You can mush a dog sled, learn about Alaska's past in its many museums, explore the backcountry on cross-country skis, search the skies for the northern lights, board a bush plane and fly across the legendary Arctic Circle or soak in hot springs surrounded by snowdrifts with twinkling northern lights overhead.
