Anyone who is interested or wouldn't mind sharing some tips, I'd love a PM. Thanks in advance, and I hope to meet some of you (even if only for a beer!)
I would recommend hiking in the Denali Park area. Check with them because I think you need a reservation for that. They segment the park into areas and limit the number of hikers in each one.

I used to backpack the park for a week every summer but have not done so in many years. Any area is good but the area that includes Sunrise & Sunset Creeks near Eielson Visitors Center was my favorite.

I can't say whether I will be around then. Check back closer to your trip.
