Transportation
Commercial Flights
If you will be flying into Alaska via commercial airlines you should plan to fly into Anchorage International Airport (PANC).
Moose Pass / Trail Lake is located 97 miles south of Anchorage International Airport.
For late arrivals, we suggest you stay the night in Anchorage then drive down to Moose Pass the next day.
Rental Cars
Most major rental car companies are located in Anchorage. Check the Anchorage Convention and Visitors Bureau for local rental car companies.
Restaurants are limited in Moose Pass, so if you do rent a car you’ll be able to drive to Seward or Cooper Landing for additional places for dinner.
Bus
If you’d like to take a bus from Anchorage, the Park Connection offers twice a day service (on most days of the week) from Anchorage to Seward. You can view the bus schedule on their website.
The Park Connection Motorcoach Schedule offers the “Seward Express” and “Seward Cruise Transfers”. The standard route is from Anchorage to Seward and visa versa.
You can subtract 30 minutes from the Seward arrival time to determine your Moose Pass time. For departures from Seward heading back to Anchorage, you can add 30 minutes to the Seward departure time to determine what time the bus will pass through Moose Pass.
