How to get from RrTo Lodge

We will be traveling from Anchorage to Talkeetna in late May via the Alaskan Railroad. What is the best way to get from the railroad station to the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge? Also, is the Talkeetna roadhouse still open for breakfast in the morning?

Traveling from the Talkeetna Railroad Station to the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge is relatively straightforward. The station is small and located near the town center, so you have a few convenient options depending on your preference for speed, cost, and comfort.

Transportation options from the railroad station to the lodge:

  • Shuttle/Taxi: The Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge offers a shuttle service for guests. It’s best to contact the lodge ahead of time to schedule a pick-up, especially if your train arrival time is fixed.
  • Local Taxi: Talkeetna has a few local taxi services that can provide a short ride from the station to the lodge. The ride is typically 5–10 minutes, depending on luggage and traffic.
  • Walking: If you don’t have heavy luggage and enjoy a short stroll, the lodge is roughly 0.6 miles (about 10–15 minutes) from the train station via the main street, offering a pleasant walk through town.
  • Ride-hailing apps: Limited availability in Talkeetna, but sometimes services like Uber or Lyft can be used if active in the area—worth checking ahead of time.

Regarding the Talkeetna Roadhouse:

  • The Talkeetna Roadhouse is generally open for breakfast year-round, though exact hours may vary depending on the season and staffing. In late May, you can typically expect them to serve breakfast starting around 7:00–8:00 am.
  • It’s a good idea to call ahead or check their website/social media for the most current schedule, especially if you’re aiming to have breakfast before an early morning excursion.

In summary, for convenience and minimal hassle, arranging the lodge shuttle or taking a local taxi is the most straightforward way to get from the railroad station to the lodge. Walking is feasible if you’re traveling light and enjoy a brief stroll. The Talkeetna Roadhouse is still a reliable option for breakfast in late May.
