Things to do in Alaska?

Nice picture. If you ask an Alaskan they will tell you they are going to split the state so that Texas is the third largest state. Also interesting to overlay Alaska on the lower 48 as it stretches from Savannah to San Francisco.
We enjoyed the Barge 8 and Riverboat tours in Fairbanks. 230 miles? Isn't that just an Alaskan commute? Of course Denali and other interesting sights are on along the trip south. A very interesting CG on the way to Homer is Deep Water State CG and it's boat launching.
But there is so much more to the Kenai Peninsula that I could type for hours. We arrived at Hope for their CG but all of the town roads were closed for a wedding. We tried to stay on the Kenai River during the salmon run but there was an Alaskan every 6'. And bad traffic as the taxis were taking the floaters back upstream. That's Alaska! And a few more hundred miles will get you to Valdez which was also enjoyable.
