Thanks cascaderailroad. The motorhome option sounds interesting, although I would like to spend a little time on the Alaska Railroad. (You see, I have a DVD on the Alaska RR and, as the employees own their own company, I would like to do our little bit to keep it successful!) Funny, looking at your location I imagine you don't see too many tourists!
Apparently a visit to Denali National Park is a must and a lottery is run every year to allow a select number of visitors to drive the park unescorted - but that's only in September when it could be a tad cold for the fair members of the family! Don't worry, we have the utmost respect for bears and don't want to become lunch or toys to bat around with heavy paws!
I like to shoot wildlife - but only with a camera! (Unlike my friend from Texas who is never happier than when he's mounting the head of some noble creature on a wooden plinth in his garage!)
We had a holiday (vacation) halfway up Vancouver Island a few years ago and were fascinated watching the twinkling lights of the cruise ships making their way up to Alaska through the Inside Passage while we enjoyed our barbecue on the beach in the balmy summer evenings.
