Alaska Trails Bus Line

Perfect for the independent traveler on a budget, the experienced driver-guides of Alaska Trails will take you just about anywhere you want to go in Alaska. Let an experienced driver-guide deal with the long distances, while you relax in a comfortable, modern coach or van with big picture windows, enjoying plenty of rest stops and photo opportunities.

There are two daily departures to Denali National Park from Anchorage and one from Fairbanks. Alaska Trails is the only shuttle service that offers same-day connections between Anchorage or Fairbanks and the Denali backcountry lodge buses. For points along the way between Fairbanks and Valdez take the Richardson Hwy Route. Or you can take the Top of the World Route from Fairbanks to Dawson City, Yukon, including Delta Junction, Tok, and Chicken.

Get on and off the shuttle at any point on any route and continue your journey on any other day of service. All tickets are valid the entire season. You’ll find plenty of room for extra gear, baggage, and backpacks. Even kayaks are generally not a problem, with advance notice. Add $10 per ticket to stow a bicycle.

Pros: Charters are available to and from many places where specific routes are not scheduled. Another option is getting close to your destination and simply taking another shuttle the rest of the way. Flag-stop service on all routes, with tickets valid the entire season. Extra room for gear and luggage. Same-day connection between Anchorage and Fairbanks and Denali backcountry lodge buses.

Cons: Richardson Highway Route requires that a minimum of 4 seats be reserved one-way before confirmation and NO cancellations.
