A very big THANK YOU to all for telling me about “Hope”. I read about it and definitely going to make a stop there, most likely on the 16th when we are heading back to Anchorage. Also, thank you for the bus system info, Peoplemover. We may need it depending on our car rental situation. I have decided to go with Talonair for bear viewing. Have booked Seward lodging, & looking at booking Soldotna and Girdwood (2 nights each). Thanks!
