Created by local writers and photographers, "Compass American Guides" are the ultimate insider's guide, providing in-depth coverage of the history, culture and character of America's most spectacular destinations. Covering everything there is to see and do as well as the best places to stay and eat, these gorgeous full-colour guides are perfect for anyone looking for a real understanding of the region. The Inside Passage, once the traditional route to the Klondike gold fields and, today, the centrepiece of many Alaskan cruises, abounds in serene channels, which cut through the magnificent coastal mountains, giving access to some of the world's most undisturbed wildlife - whales, eagles, porpoise and bear. As well as detailing the key cruising sights of this area of outstanding natural beauty, and the best places to spot wildlife and fish, there are special features on gold rush history, native American culture and where to shop for local arts, as well as the cities of Skagway, Ketchikan and Juneau, the capital of Alaska. Before you leave for Alaska's Inside Passage be sure to pack your Fodor's guide to make sure you don't miss a thing.

This review is from: Compass American Guides: Alaska's Inside Passage, 1st Edition (Paperback)
The author describes numerous useful aspects of the cultural and historical attractions of areas along the Inside Passage. My only complaint is that I would like to see more maps with greater detail.

This review is from: Compass American Guides: Alaska's Inside Passage, 1st Edition (Paperback)
This book enabled me to decide upon a cruise of the Inside Passage on Holland America Statendam as an economical transportation with room and board to get us from Vancouver to Seward. I was satisfied with the descriptions of what we could expect to see and do. Some of the maps were helpful when we were on site in places like Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay. The photos are beautiful and inspiring. The book also let me know what we missed so that we can plan to include those places next time. We felt more at home in each place visited thanks to this book. It is easy to take along.
