I'm thinking of making a trip up to Anchorage for a few days this coming weekend. Right now, the weather forecast doesn't look the greatest (some chances of rain on Saturday and Sunday) and I am a little concerned that there will not be much to see/do in and around Anchorage due to the time of year.

Can some of the locals (or others who have been to Anchorage in early-April) comment on whether or not I'd find enough to keep me busy? If there is enough decent scenery to see during this time of year, I could potentially keep myself occupied driving up towards Denali (or as far as the road closure will allow me to go) and down to Sweard or the Homer area. Would there be interesting things to see on these drives during this time of year? Are there enough indoor activities (I see that there are some museums...) in Anchorage to do if the weather takes a further turn down?

Any insight you guys can provide would be appreciated.
