Best Places Alaska: the Best Lodgings, Outdoor Adventures, and Restaurants

I found this book very informative with information on the history of an area as well as sites to vist, what to look for on walking tours or hikes, and where to shop, spend the night, or eat. I especially liked the references to native-made art. However, I also purchased "Best Places Alaska" by Don Pitcher and the books are virtually identical (they even use the same phrases to describe a place). I would recommend either of these books but not both.

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.

I purchases this book as a guide for planning a vacation Alaska for a family that has never been to Alaska. It has met my purposes very well.

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.

Home to fantastic fjords, breathtaking coastlines, rushing rivers, temperate rain forests, majestic mountains, glorious glaciers, a wealth of wildlife, and a rich cultural heritage, Alaska hosts 1.3 million tourists a year.
