Alaska
[Lonely Planet]
A u t o r : Jim DuFresne
V e r l a g :Lonely Planet
I S B N : 0864427549
B u c h b e s p re c h u n g : 520 Seiten -
Lonely Planet guides are the best, and this is no exception. If you are planning a trip to Alaska that has nothing to do with
the typical watered down, spoonfed stuff that the tour guides serve up to the geriatric set as "the Real Alaska", then you
must get this book. I have used it for two trips up north; I was working in salmon canning plants and on fishing boats to
pay my way around, and with this book, I had the most wonderful adventures I've ever had.

Travelers Guide Alaskan Camping

A u t o r : M.+T. Church
V e r l a g :Rolling Homes
I S B N : 0965296822
B u c h b e s p re c h u n g : 416 Seiten -
I found this book to be more informative than the Milepost, as it is better organized and shows campgrounds and facilities that are of
interest to those people who are planning to camp with RV or tent.
The book shows all campgrounds in each section of road traveled and also describes activities that are available in the area. It is
informative and clearly written with excellent directions for locating attractions.

Hiking Alaska

A u t o r : Dean Littlepage
V e rl a g :Falcon Press
I S B N : 1560445513
B u c h b e s p r e c h u n g : 388 Seiten -
We just used this book as a primary source on a recent trip to Southern Alaska. The book's description of hikes was extremely
accurate and helpful. We particularly enjoyed the very accurate directions to trailheads and the elevation profiles, which gave a good
sense of the hikes' difficulty. The book's focus on issues such as the clarity of trail markings and the variation in the hike experience
during different times of the year gave the book extra value.
