Thinking about going in early September for a honeymoon. If we were going for a week, what places would you recommend staying at or must do activities?
What do you like to do? Denali is great but imo somewhat overrated. I'm not a backpacker though, and it's more of a backpacking park. You can take a scenic flight that lands on a glacier--that looked amazing but we were cancelled by bad weather.
Seward is a lot of fun with the surrounding parks. Alaska has a great beer culture, and obviously the outdoors stuff is what you're there for.
This is one of the dumbest things ever posted on this board.

We like to hike but are by no means expert or even advanced hikers, more like going on walks that are somewhat uphill. We just would love the scenery and seeing the wildlife. So just if we had a week and are first timers, what would be the must do's.
Could you be more specific? Alaska is a big state (the biggest) with a lot of different things to do, but it's not easy to just hop from one place to the next.
After a day of research, very tentative, so tell me what works/wouldnt work. But fly into Anchorage, have heard that there are better places to see, so either head to Denali when we get in or maybe spend the night there or somewhere on the way to Denali. Go to Denali for 2 days, one of which would be the bus tour deep into the park. After that we would drive down to Seward, heard the route down is one the best. Stay there for two days, one of which we would do an all day boat tour. Then we would head to Homer for a night or two before our trip back. Lot of driving but hopefully the drives would be beautiful to help pass the time. This seem like a decent layout? Any recommendations for places to stay or definite things to do/places to eat?
