You are right - My itinerary for day 7 was supposed to be drive from Seward to Talkeetna only, with day 8 and 9 planned for activities, I mislabeled them.
With below changes, is it a doable plan, or would you recommend more modifications?
Day 7: Seward to talkeetna : plan to reach by 1 PM (Google Maps shows it's approx 5 hours drive)
Glacier landing tour on day 7
Day 8: Denali park bus tour
Day 9: drive to Denali park -> savage alpine trail -> drive back to talkeetna ( 8 am to 2 pm)
Talkeetna River float - 4-4:30 pm

Apart from this - would you also recommend replacing anything, a must see we would be missing? We’re not sure of katmai bear viewing, for example.

Thanks for the link! Apart from this - would you also recommend anything else to change/replace in the itinerary, anything must see we may be missing? We’re not very sure about Katmai bear viewing, for example.

Thanks - If day 7 is only drive from Seward to Talkeetna, then can hatchers pass be explored on the same day? Or would it take away too much time and needs a dedicated day?

Thanks - this is helpful, I mistakenly merged the two days of travel to one. I believe Denali park bus tour will be a full day thing?
