Though wow, I wish I could find a deal like that. Then I could use all those miles to fly myself to Hawaii too! Haha, and 22nd it is then~
Oh, okay. It seems I've heard only good things about both the trail and center - so those are for sure. As for the coupon books, I fully agree. I will plan on getting one if not both.
Your Day 3 suggestion sounds like a good idea too, and as you commented on the other forum - Homer really doesn't seem like it's going to work for this trip.
Your hike ideas, also present a lot of options to check out. Several people have suggested the Savage Loop and it seems just around the right length for the whole family.

Just out of curiosity when did you visit Denali? I know the summer months are busiest, but it seems like a spot I can't help but visit.
As for the Lake Hood Inn you suggested a while back - I'm wanting to give it a try. You really liked then?
Again though, thank you for all the help!

Darn it!
I was actually planning on wiping my previous schedule and Ulu Factorying all week.
Not a good idea then? (;
I was in Denali the last week of August in 2007. As far as the Lake Hood Inn it was really nice. Close to the airport but maybe 3 miles from the downtown. only had 4 rooms so it was tiny. Had a wonderful balcony overlooking Lake Hood where you can watch the float planes take off and land. Lake Hood Inn was not only great but was cheaper than most of the Downtown hotels. You said you were traveling with a family so I am not sure if they accomodate larger groups? I would definatley look into it though.
Here are reviews of the Lake Hood Inn from trip advisor...
