Customer Reviews

Excellent

The National Geographic Driving Guides are guides to Blue Highways, i.e., non-freeways. They are perfect for people who want to get back to the "real" America. Since they are written by different authors, they vary in quality.Of the ones that I have read, this one is the best. The author, Bob Devine, loves the Northwest, and has done an excellent job of ferreting out a lot of great sights to see and things to do. He also writes clearly.I was particularly interested in the sections on Alaska, because I was trying to figure out whether it would be interesting to me (I am not an outdoorsman), and if I do visit it, how to structure the trip. After reading this book, I decided that there were a lot of interesting things to do and see in the Anchorage area and decided to fly directly into there.Other good books in this series are the ones for Pennsylvania/New York, and Texas. The only bad one I've come across is the one for California.

The best pocket-guide to Alaska

Excellent maps , photos and facts. You do not need more details for plannin a trip to Alaska. Is really perfect.
