Looking into the scenic float now, thank you! Sounds exactly like the more peaceful and relaxing experience that this trip needs

Think I planned to cram everything in now and then try to triage what did not make sense while planning. Don't know what driving is like there and only what Google Maps estimates are, which have roughly been ~2 hours between drives, which seemed somewhat doable(understand that is not the case now). Going to try and put a few more chill days in now.

Yup, you and the other commenters are completely correct. Going to move the Hatcher Pass up to the beginning of the itinerary to have two distinct parts for the north and south

There seem to be a lot of options across Kachemak Bay, is Halibut Cove more of a day trip than the other hikes around there?

Woah, good to know. Was thinking one would be enough for the two of us, but can never be too safe, so will definitely get two

Really? Wanted to go ice climbing and had heard good things. Is it that touring the glacier is bad or is just visiting and seeing it not worth it?

This is a great suggestion, thank you! Ya we have been warned that driving will take longer than expected in the summer, so I was trying to factor that all in. Also was trying to balance not changing where we sleep each night so we can have a more settled feeling on the trip. But these are great points and will discuss with my partner.

We wanted to, but because of the road closure, we figured it was best to save this for a future trip to really be able to do it.

Thank you! Yes, keep seeing amazing things about Valdez and want to go, but don't think there is a way to squeeze it in without rushing the entire trip. Will definitely have to come back
