"Night 2 -3: Cooper Landing (Personal opinion is unless one is fishing, there are better places to visit; and this is backtracking from getting the RV in Anchorage, FWIW)
Agree, and I think a bunch of the immediate scenery is burned up this year. Only go if fishing. If you hit the Reds, park at the confluence of the Russian and Kenai Rivers and hike up the Russian (big trail, can't miss) far enough until you start running out of people to fish with. 2-3 miles will doo it. Same fish, less combat)
Night 4: Willow ? Talkeetna? (It would not be a relaxing drive to go from Cooper Landing to Denali / McKinley in one day...but can be done if needed)"
Take Fishook Rd from Willow up to Hatchers for the day/night. 1/2 to 1 hr off the Parks puts you up in the high country.
Or go up to Hatchers from the Palmer side. 1/2 hr out from town and you're in the pass and take the Fishook road down to Willow to the Parks Hwy on your way out and on up towards Talkeetna and Denali.
