I can't believe folks are saying to skip Denali Nat'l Park!! It's a treasure.
On our last trip we stayed 10 nights in the park. We saw 'the mountain' 7 of 10 days in full glory.

Seward is very easy to walk around. Try to get a site at the city campground right on the waterfront. You'll see playful otters in the water, seals and huge cruise ships (especially pretty at night if you're awake). The kids would love the aquarium in town.
