Planing to be in Anchorage in about a week and drive down to Seward and do a half day cruise and then drive up to Denali... Did you buy your tickets for the shuttle bus in Denali before you got here or did you buy them when you got there?? I would probably be wanting to take an early bus to Eielson Center and get there by about midday when i think there are walks with Rangers?? So not sure if i need to buy them ahead of time or get up there and there will be seats available?

Also why did you not go for the coupon books? i was told by someone that they can be good value and you can ask around online if people have used coupons or their book left and they are leaving Alaska and maybe get a good deal??

Nice photos by the way and like the information...
