Peer of scenic attractions, Mount McKinley, monarch of North American mountains, visible for 300 miles along the railroad, towering 20,300 feet over a National Park of 2,600 square miles—an unexplored wilderness of wild life. Then there are Spencer Glacier, Nenana river canyon, and miles and miles of wild and magnificent scenery.
For those seeking a location there are gold, silver, copper, and coal in abundance; or wide valleys of agricultural lands, producing grain and vegetable crops; or trapping, fox farming, reindeer grazing, and many other industries. Look over the map below—a domain one-fifth the size of all the states.
Trains northbound leave Seward and Anchorage every Monday and Thursday at 8 o'clock; and southbound leave Fairbanks and Nenana every Tuesday and Friday at 7 o'clock. THE ALASKA RAILROAD also operates river steamers between Nenana and Holy Cross, leving Nenana every Wednesday.
THE GOLDEN BELT TOUR—in over the railroad and out over the Richardson Highway—affords the tourist a diversity of travel and scenery and really enables the seeing of Alaska, 750 miles in 5 days.

You Can Take The Trip The President
Took In Alaska During the summer of 1923 the way has been blazed by the President of the United States and Mrs. Harding with party of 70; by 30 Congressmen and their wives; by the Brooklyn Eagle party of 40 men and 40 women; and by scores of other parties numbering from 2 to 25.
From the steamer's gang plank at Seward the traveler is now taken in safety and comfort by the United States Government over a standard gauge railroad through unexcelled scenery to the very heart of this last frontier of our nation at Fairbanks, away up near the Arctic Circle.
