Comments on riding the Alaska Railroad from Denali to Anchorage: We loved it, but do take note - the first 2-3 hours have great mountain views, and then there's a long, comparatively dull stretch where you can't see the forest for the trees. Near the end of the journey things pick up again - better scenery, with mountains.
Dinner offered cod or pot roast. The cod was great, and was easily the better choice (based on tasting both). There was also an alcoholic blueberry drink that we all really liked.
