 Alaska Highway August 15, 2008
I am planning our first trip to Alaska. Initially I borrowed this book from our Parish library. I found it to be so informative that I decided to purchase the book for future reference.
Indispensable DRIVING Guide to the Highway May 28, 2003
13 out of 13 found this review helpful
Not sure why the last reviewer bought a driving guide instead of a hiking guide, but I found this book to be incredibly helpful and entertaining. It contained the right balance of text with history and don't-miss places to visit for each community, along with listings of restaurants and places to stay. She tell you the miles (and kilometers) between major towns and includes lots of great pictures. Highly recommended for preparing for the trip, and a great resource once you're on the road.
 Of no value to me April 22, 2003
5 out of 17 found this review helpful
I will be driving to Alaska this summer with my dog and I wanted guidance on local parks on the way where we could take breaks and go hiking. I purchased the book since it claims to provide information about hiking trails. No such thing; I found nothing of any value to me and returned it. In fact, if you delete the pictures and the lists of motels and restaurants... there would be little left to read.

Handy, Practical, and Refreshing February 4, 2001
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Handy, practical, and refreshing describe this guide to the Alcan Highway and other roads of the North. Tricia Brown's friendly voice and personal insights bring the adventure to life for me. Although I've driven the Alcan many times over the years, there's much to see and much to learn. I plan to pack this Guide along with my gear for my next trip.
