We have a southbound cruise out of Whittier at the end of July 2024, and we want to spend some time in Alaska before we depart. We have never been there before, and are hiking, culture and wildlife enthusiasts. I want a variety of experiences, so don't really need to duplicate activities we will have on the cruise (whale watching, kayaking, train) unless the location especially warrants it. This will be a long trip, so super expensive activities probably aren't in our budget (think helicopter rides), but we are open to bucket list ideas.
I see that the road to Denali is blocked, so am comfortable giving that up for something else that is wonderful. An excellent bear tour is something I would love to do.
We haven't bought plane tickets yet, but hope to do that next. We originally assumed we'd be flying into Anchorage, but this can be flexible if the itinerary dictates.
