Alaska Park Connection Motorcoach
Schedules and Rates

Featuring comfortable coaches and strategically scheduled daily runs, the Alaska Park Connection makes best use of your limited vacation time as you travel through spectacular wilderness areas including Denali National Park, Chugach National Forest, Denali State Park and Chugach State Park.

The Seward highway south of Anchorage is a National Scenic Byway. Little wonder -- the drive down Turnagain Arm, over Turnagain Pass and Moose Pass, and past Trail and Kenai Lakes is spectacular and awe-inspiring. North of Anchorage the route follows the Parks highway through Denali State Park, where some of the best views of Mt. McKinley can be seen. Your knowledgeable driver will point out the highlights along the way.

Park Connection in Seward Since the Parks and Seward highways travel different routes than the Alaska Railroad, the Alaska Park Connection coach ride in one direction is a logical combination with an Alaska Railroad trip in or out of Anchorage.

We offer a number of schedules to meet your needs, including twice daily trips in both directions between Denali Park, Anchorage and Seward. The Park to Park (Denali to Seward) service is the only transportation link available which allows travel between Denali Park and Seward (either direction) in a single day. Visitors who have already spent time in Anchorage will appreciate this money saving feature. The Denali Express is a great choice for those with limited time in Denali Park or who need to meet up with buses traveling to Denali Park's backcountry lodges. The Fairbanks Express allows quick and easy service to or from Denali Park. The Seward Express service is great for passengers traveling to Seward for the day to take a Kenai Fjords National Park Cruise.
