I'm loving this thread. My family is taking a 2 month vacation up there in 2017. I've been planning this trip since 2009. Finally pulling the trigger in 13 months. thanks for the advice, folks.

I'd pick just one area to concentrate on, that way you have time to really enjoy yourself. If you stay in the Seward/Kenai area you might want to check out a Sled Dog tour at Seavey's IdidaRide.

good advice colorado bob,
Kenai Penn is great, I'd stay at ironbender's house till the beer ran out and then move on. Missed this bit'o BS. It don't run out.

Thank you for your many suggestions.
We are going to Seward for three days and then to Denali for three days. I know we will be missing some of each place but no telling when or if we will ever be back, not that we wouldn't want to but from a cost standpoint it just won't be in the budget for a while.
Will let you guys know what we think of things generally and the fishing outfitter we went with, I always like to see what people think rather than just the propaganda on the webpages.
Anyway, thanks again.

If you want to get up close and personal with a glacier, Matanuska Glacier here in the valley is available. There's a private individual that will allow you down their property for a small fee, gets you right to the glacier. You can then go for a hike on it if you please.
