First, it&#8217;s home to the largest log cabin on Main Street. You can also enjoy locally made artisan breads and pastries. Many of the ingredients are grown on the local farm. Another reason to visit the town is to experience the Moose on Parade, a local tradition that was started in the 1960s. You can see these cut-out moose on Main Street, and take home a souvenir from this unique event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The town is a popular summer destination due to its lack of year-round snowpack. You can also enjoy a husky puppy tour and the Hurricane Turn Train service. The town is small enough to be explored on a day trip, but it&#8217;s worth spending more time to get to know the people and enjoy all that Talkeetna has to offer. The town also boasts many local delights, including fresh salmon and other seafood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For an authentic Alaskan experience, head to Talkeetna Alaska. The small town sits 100 miles south of Denali National Park and is the last stop on the way to the national park. While most people arrive in Anchorage, many visitors take the Alaska Railroad to Talkeetna, which is an excellent way to travel between the two towns. If you&#8217;re looking for an authentic Alaskan experience, you&#8217;ll be pleasantly surprised by this picturesque town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in downtown Talkeetna, the Talkeetna Historical Society Museum tells the story of this town&#8217;s history. You&#8217;ll find exhibits and artifacts relating to gold mining and the First Peoples who climbed Denali National Park. And, if you love history, you can purchase souvenirs to take home to tell your friends and family about the town&#8217;s rich history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a passion for taxidermy, you should check out Nagley&#8217;s General Store. This historic store is one of the oldest buildings in Talkeetna, and it&#8217;s home to a mini museum. Built in 1917 by a man named Horace Nagley, the store served as a stop for the railroad workers who connected Anchorage and Fairbanks. Despite its age, it still maintains its original look and serves tasty coffee and ice cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jet boat tours are available in the Sustina, Chulitna, and Talkeetna Rivers. These tours can take you up to the peak of Denali and into the Nenana Canyon. In addition to a guided wildlife hike, you can take a ride in an authentic cabin. Alternatively, you can take a tour on a floatplane. There&#8217;s also a floatplane train, which departs from Talkeetna, offering incredible views of Alaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pub is another great spot for a meal. While it&#8217;s a local favorite, it&#8217;s also open to foreigners. You can find delicious American burgers at the West Rib Pub and Grill. While it&#8217;s not a gourmet restaurant, the menu at Denali Brewing is both unique and delicious. While you&#8217;re in town, try the Twister Creek IPA, which is a cult favorite among locals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can visit Talkeetna Alaska for several reasons.
