  • Day 1

    Anchorage to Denali

    Leave Anchorage early for the 4.5-hour drive north through the Chugach Mountains. Stop at Byers Lake in Denali State Park for an 8.5-mile hike. Get there before 10 AM to avoid afternoon winds. Bring plenty of layers since temperatures can swing 30°F even in summer. End your day at a lodge near the Nenana River.

    
  • Day 2

    Denali National Park

    Spend the day exploring Denali's tundra landscape. Take on the 6-mile Savage Alpine Trail in the morning when wildlife is active and skies are usually clear. Try to get a spot on the first shuttle bus at 5:15 AM during peak season. You'll see more wildlife and avoid the crowds.

    
  • Day 3

    Alaska Range

    Start your last morning in Denali with a 6.5-mile hike on Kesugi Ridge trail. The clearest mountain views typically happen between 6-10 AM. Bring micro-spikes because snow can stick around even in July.

    
  • Day 4

    Kenai Peninsula

    Head south for 3.5 hours to explore coastal Alaska. The 6.5-mile Crow Pass trail shows off the transition from inland to coastal environments. Keep your distance from bears near salmon streams. Stay at least 50 yards away and keep bear spray on your belt where you can reach it quickly.

    
  • Day 5

    Kenai Fjords National Park

    Visit Exit Glacier and tackle the 5-mile Harding Icefield Trail. Start by 8 AM before the afternoon ice melt makes things slippery. The 2,000-foot climb is steady but manageable with trekking poles and the views are incredible.

    
  • Day 6

    Fort McGilvray and Seward

    Take the 9-mile coastal hike to Fort McGilvray. Time your walk with the tides and catch a boat shuttle back to Miller's Landing. A recent visitor shared: "The coastal trail can get slippery after rain - wear shoes with good grip and time your hike with low tide for the best beach walking."

    
  • Day 7

    Return to Anchorage

    Finish with a 4-mile hike in the Turnagain Arm area on Byron Glacier Trail. The 1,400-foot climb offers great glacier views without wearing you out. The 3-hour drive back to Anchorage has plenty of photo spots. Stop at Beluga Point between June and August to look for whales.
