I was hoping to dislike Wasilla and the Wasilla Train Depot--mostly because of the famous female…read moreRepublican politician who hails from this city. But darn it, Wasilla seems like a nice place and the Wasilla Train Depot was quaint and picturesque. It seemed a lot more modern than some of the other one-horse town depots that are little more than quickie whistle-stops. According to the Alaska Railroad website, "the historic depot in Wasilla is where the train stops to pick up passengers, however it is not staffed by the Alaska Railroad. The building is leased to the Wasilla Chamber of Commerce, and is often closed and locked at train arrival/departure times." Passengers who are boarding at Wasilla park their vehicles in the designated gravel area at least 10 feet from the tracks. Passengers board on the same side of the tracks as the depot building. The area is not sheltered from the elements, so be warned. When the train arrives, have your ID handy for the Conductor or the onboard supervisor, and they will give you a boarding pass which will have your seat assignment. Since the train stops in the middle of Wasilla, be prepared to hustle since street traffic stops on the road in both directions to accommodate boarding and departing. Immediately after leaving Wasilla heading north, be prepared to see some absolutely spectacular scenery, Sara Palin excluded.

He also shares his experiences from the trail and his previous races. Hands down this is the best experience!!
