I'm mostly familiar with Southcentral since that's where I live. I know there are several good trails in Southeastern (the panhandle)which have a lot of historical significance from the gold rush. SE is gorgeous...imagine BC but even more lush and mountainous. I lived in Juneau for 5 months in the early 80's and there was this trail up behind the town I used to hike when I needed to get away from the stress for a few hours. It was called the Resolution Trail. I never did the whole thing and actually have no idea how long it is, because this was springtime and aways into it, I ran into residual snowfields in the mountains. But up to then, it was incredible. It edged along a cliffside off a valley with an incredible waterfall at the end. Eventually it reached a small landing at the top of the waterfall, where a single picnic table had been placed. I remember thinking I'd like to have my wedding there, when I had one, because it was the most beautiful spot on earth (it didn't happen, but the wedding was nice anyway). About ten minutes later I reached snow and had to turn back, but it was a great little day hike. The trail was completely deserted every time I hiked it, but that was probably because of the "No trespassing--under repair" sign I passed on the way up.
Next summer I hope to take the daughters on the Crow Pass trail, which crosses the Chugach Mtns near Anchorage. It's either an overnite or an early morning-late evening hike, which is doable because of the long daylight hours in summer. It does include a river crossing and some altitude so I'll have to be prepared.
