Your first day in Alaska will be primarily a travel day. After flying into Fairbanks or Anchorage, rent a car and head out to Denali National Park. With typically such a long travel day, I wouldn't plan anything on this day other than checking into the resort and exploring the amenities.
Two narrated bus tours are available through the National Park Service- the Natural History Tour and the Tundra Wilderness Tour. The Natural History Tour focuses more on the cultural and natural history of the area, while the Tundra Wilderness Tour focuses more on the wildlife and landscape.

Day Three
Start your second day in Denali National Park with some white water rafting, followed by an easy afternoon hike.
Stay in the backwoods cabins overlooking the Susitna River for a more private option. Walking distance from town, with easy access to shops and restaurants.
Head out to Seward for your last stop of the trip. If staying at the Orca Island Cabins, you can spend the day just enjoying the beauty of the area. If choosing the more budget friendly option, spend the day enjoying the local shops, restaurants and parks.
These yurts are pricey but worth it. Tucked away in Humpy Cove of Resurrection Bay, you'll stay in a yurt with a private bathroom and full kitchen. You'll also have access to kayaks, SUP boards, row boats, fishing and snorkel gear. A private water taxi will take you directly there from Seward.
