Even if Denali is covered in clouds, would I still be able to get a good view of other mountains or basically I will get nothing? I was looking forward to a Glacier landing tour. Can you recommend some good operators from ANC? I am not looking for private charters but happy to little extra for smaller groups/ operators.

Yes, I am totally open to swapping out King Salmon for other destinations. Since I cannot stay overnite at Katmai NP, I am less inclined to visit if there are other (as scenic) options. Would 2 or 3 days be enough time for Nome?

Also, if I skip King Salmon/ Katmai, I could fly into Fairbanks towards end of the trip for an Aurora Borealis viewing tour. Would it be a good time (mid-sept)? And, how many nights should I keep in Fairbanks for decently high chances of good viewing?

Also, any thoughts Wrangell St Elias preserve? It feels like a bit much to cover Kenai Fjords NP and Wrangell St Elias preserve in same trip.
