Well...I did the cruise thing a couple of years ago (August of 2001) So I didn't get to go far from the tourist parts, but...
I think my favorite part was white water rafting in Valdez. It was 37 degree glazier water and a lot of fun.
In Juneau, you can take a tram up the side of the mountain and go walking through the rainforest that they have up there. It was beautiful! And smelled so good.
The weather was cloudy and cold (50's) with drizzle during four out of the seven days that we were sailing. Once we landed, we rented a car and drove from Seward to Alyeska, then Talkeetna and finally Denali Park. We never went into the park because it was a long bumpy bus ride tour, and being near the end of our trip, none of us had the patients to deal with that. I wish I could go back for a second shot.
The drive from Talkeetna to Denali was beautiful! Fields of wild flowers with mountains in the background. You are lucky to go Alaska.
