[quote=Anonymous]OP here, thanks for all these replies!!!  Especially all the info about the bears. I truly did not have that on my radar at all.  I've encountered brown bears while camping and backpacking in Yosemite and Glacier, but that was 25 years ago when I was young and brave and traveling without kids.  I did a lot of homework (thanks to the PPs from Alaska who told me to get smart on this) and now we're the proud owners of two canisters of UDAP bear spray, 4 sets of bells, and 2 whistles.  And lots of tips on how to store food inside the RV.  Also, thank you to the person who posted the Milepost link. It arrived today, and it's awesome.

Our itinerary is roughly as follows:

Day 0: arrive in anchorage at 11:30 pm, sleep in motel

Day 1:  Anchorage:  pick up RV, go to Costco and stock up, and drive to denali (if we have the energy, if not, just stay in anchorage for the day)

Days 2 - 4:  Denali:  Hiking, doing the bus tour, possibly doing a white water rafting trip outside of the park; visiting talkeetna on the way out

Days 5- 10:  Kenai peninsula: scenic train; sea kayaking; boat trips in resurrection bay and prince william sound; glacier hike; seward sealife center, etc.

I can't remember all the details but we have something planned pretty much every day. hopefully we're not over-scheduling but since I don't know that we'll ever get back there, I definitely want to squeeze in as much as possible.

I'll report back when we return with more details for those who are interested in doing a similar trip.  :-)  Thanks again for all the great advice!!

I'll report back when we return.... [/quote]
