Thanks all...I guess the first revision is getting to Denali on Sunday and skipping the extra day in Anchorage. I checked out the Saltwater Lodge, but it appears bed-and-breakfasy, which is not our thing. Expedia had a decent looking hotel called the Harborview Inn - although there were some other, cheaper options.

The boats at the SWL look pretty small, but in their photos, the water appears flat calm - my traveling companion will freak out if on a smaller boat in rough waters, and even Bonine pills don't work, so I hope a Scopalmine patch will do the trick - for both of us. How was their boat tour, and what did you see?

Is there any particular bear tour you can recommend? Right now, we're looking at the 5hr tour offered by Hallo Bay.

so...first revision...

Day 2 Sunday - Early morning drive to Denali Park, explore the Park, overnight at Denali Bluffs Hotel with Mountain view room
Day 3 Monday - Continue exploring Denali Park, late afternoon departure to return to Anchorage, overnight Anchorage

I think I need more to add on Day 4 - sights to see on the way to, or around Seward
