after the road trip to Valdez (best drive in the state imo) particularly if you stop at Copper Center, Chitina, McCarthy and the park entrance on that side on the way.
after that fave road trips would be Tok Cutoff all the way to Anchorage via Palmer
going up the haul road and Denali are great trips as well, but sticky situation with the rental car companies last I knew.
Damn! You offered sage advise and did not threaten to fight the guy! Good job!
