If you want to go full tourist at Denali (which is a marvelous place) do be sure to plan well ahead. Denali National Park is extremely access limited (only one road in and it only goes in a dozen miles of public access).

I agree with Alex, mid to late August is best. I never got around to finishing it, but you can read my Alaska trip report such as it is here. It at least covers Denali.
