Not everything was open, but it should be when you are there, including the bears! From Anchorage, we went drive near McKinley (park was still closed) and got great photos. It was completely visible, which is apparently pretty rare. We stopped at several places along the way for some short hikes and also went to Talkeetna. We also took a trip down to Seward, and a glacier that was along the way. Eat as much seafood as you can, especially the halibut. It was a great trip. But everything I saw recommended bear spray for hikes later in the year. We also saw a lot of moose. Pics - McKinley, Seward, and some random park south of Anchorage. ** Edited by chemhokie at 3/9/2026, 8:48:55 PM
