Customer Reviews

It is the Best

I used this book to plan almost all aspects to our two week Alaska vacation which we have just gotten back from. And this book was the very best to give you the means to get off the beaten tourist path and see and experience the true Alaska. It is by far the very best tool. People asked us how we saw and experience so much in such a short time and I tell them it's because of this book and doing our home work.

Alaska travel

Very informative and has helped us make decisions on where to go and where not to go on our trip to Alaska this summer.

Cool but the colors are missing

Very good and complete information on Alaska. It would be better if there were maps in color and pictures.

Best Places-Alaska

Haven't made the trip yet but the information contained is both helpful and informative. It has given us many new ideas of place and things to see.

Fantastic Guidebook with great stories

A fantastic guidebook describing some of the off beat places in Alaska. If you want the true Alaskan experience, get this book. It contains over 200 restaurant and lodging reviews and stories of the 'best' places in Alaska. One of the three must travel books (Milepost, Discovering Denali, and Best Places Alaska) if you are going to the Last Frontier.
