  • Day 1

    Anchorage to Denali National Park

    Leave Anchorage and drive north on the Parks Highway. Stop in Talkeetna after 3 hours for lunch and mountain views. Try the local favorite spinach bread at Talkeetna Roadhouse. Another 2.5 hours gets you to your Denali basecamp. Bring warm clothes even in summer since nights get cold.

    
  • Days 2-3

    Denali National Park

    Book the park shuttle bus early since spots go quickly. Start at 6 AM for the best wildlife spotting. Pack snacks and binoculars. No food is sold inside the park. On Day 3, try the Savage River Loop, an easy 2-mile hike with great mountain views. Always carry bear spray.

    
  • Day 4

    Denali Highway to Maclaren River Lodge

    Plan for 6-7 hours on this mostly unpaved road. Get gas before starting. The lodge has simple bunk rooms but incredible Alaska Range views. A previous guest said: "Maclaren Lodge was super cool - really remote and beautiful."

    
  • Days 5-6

    Valdez and Kayaking

    Drive 5 hours through Thompson Pass to Valdez. Join a kayak trip to Shoup Glacier. No experience needed but bring warm, water-resistant clothes and gloves. Look for seals and sea otters. The campground offers hot showers.

    
  • Days 7-9

    Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

    Take it slow on the 7-hour McCarthy Road. Bring a spare tire. Camp near the Kennicott River with basic facilities. Optional activities include glacier hikes and flights ($225-399). The historic Kennecott copper mill is worth exploring.

    
  • Day 10

    Glenn Highway to Majestic Valley

    Drive 5-6 hours west to your wilderness lodge. Relax in the hot tub and watch for moose at dusk. The included dinner often features local salmon.

    
  • Day 11

    Return to Anchorage

    Just 2 hours back to Anchorage. Visit the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail or Alaska Native Heritage Center. The weekend market downtown has authentic local souvenirs.
