I'm mainly interested in the beta for a backpacking trip I'm planning in Denali.  If time permits, I may try to borrow a boat from one of the local rafting outfitters.  I don't think too many places demo boats up there.  Backpacking will be the primary focus of the trip, though.  Since I didn't see a single bear in BC last year, despite Leland's talk of them being all over the Cheakamus camp while we were away, I figured Denali is probably guaranteed to have a few bears.

I've actually been talking with my friend Sergey from Siberia about doing a trip there.  It's still probably a couple years off if it does happen, though.
