You said substitutions were welcome....
I'm weird...I love to hang out in the Glenallen- Copper Center-Gulkana area in the winter time; that's real, honest-to-goodness Alaska with temps in the -30's and -40's, air so clear that Sanford and Drumm look like they are 10 feet away, and the snow squeaks underfoot.
...that being said, for a summertime visit, I don't know that Glenallen justifies a day...presuming your itinerary means that. I'd stay longer in Valdez, maybe bomb up to Tok and back, and/or spend a few more hours in Los Anchorage on your way to Girdwood or spend more time in Girdwood/Portage/Indian, etc.
For a tourist, unless you have a specific activity planned, Glenallen isn't worth spending one of your few days upon.
