[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did a week inland prior to our cruise.  We arrived in Anchorage, had breakfast, and drove to Seward for a couple of nights (do a boat cruise, see some whales, and hike and see the salmon swimming upstream).  Next, Talkeetna for a couple of nights, river rafting and ATV to a homestead, next up, Denali.  We did the bus deep in and spent the day hiking with a naturalist. Spent the night.  On the way back to Anchorage, stopped at a Musk ox farm and learned about qiviut (more expensive and will keep you warmer than cashmere).

You don't need a tour, you can do this on your own with a rented car[/quote]

We saw the "big 5" inland: caribou, wolves, dall sheep, moose and bears (bears hiking and in Denali, wolves in Denali).

I disagree about skipping Denali with only a week.  If you take the long, old bus ride, and hike with a naturalist, totally worth it (and we had kids, 12 and 14 with us and they agree).

If your going all the way to Alaska from the DMV, and can take 2 weeks, one for the cruise and one inland, do it.  I don't think I'd go for just one week, and wished we'd had more than 2 weeks[/quote]
