I would go to Denali, then drop back down to the Denali hwy that goes across to Tangle lakes. Denali hwy is dirt but scenery and wildlife is great.( I spent 3 days crossing it) Tangle lakes to Chitna then on to Valdez. Ferry to whittier. Camp at portage glacier campground.. Down the Kenai hwy to Hope AK. near the Seward turnoff. Look For rafters on Six mile creek. Best white water in AK. Before departing, you have to show you can swim through a 39 degree rapid and save yourself in an eddy wearing a crash helmet and dry suite.. Last leg of trip, after resting and some power food, ( if you are deemed good enough to do the last leg by the guide) is 2 miles of paddle or die with the guide screaming orders and you are mostly under water. The climax is a water fall. Did it twice at 62 yrs old. After that the rest of the trip is your choice.
