Book Description

National Geographic Traveler Alaska February 17, 2009
All the travel experts agree—consumers want more and different experiences from travel than they did in the past. They want to deeply understand their destination before they go, feel a meaningful connection to the place while there, and return home feeling enriched and ready to share their experiences with others. With these trends in mind, and the results of extensive, proprietary market research, National Geographic Traveler has been enhanced with engaging new features and a contemporary redesign.

Each guide begins with an introduction that enables the traveler to sample a bit of the culture, history, and attractions before they go and plan the trip based on their own interests and length of stay. Travelers can immerse themselves in active, in-country "Experiences" and "Off-the-Beaten-Path Excursions" they won’t find anywhere else, like visiting a family in a South African township or learning to cook Maori cuisine with a renowned New Zealand chef. Other new features, such as "Insider Tips" from National Geographic photographers, writers, and experts, as well as "Not-To-Be-Missed" lists ensure that each person’s visit will be one-of-a-kind and memorable.

To make the most of these and all the other great new features, the guides’ design has been simplified, opened up, and enhanced with easy-to-read tinted sections. Gorgeous color photographs, high-quality maps, and the popular walking and driving tours are still highlights of our crisp, new look. To complete the update, our new covers boast a striking, single image of the destination, along with the clear National Geographic branding that signifies quality, trust, and all the best in travel.

With more than a century of travel expertise, new content, and a new look, National Geographic Traveler is the right guide at the right time—poised to meet the changing needs of today’s traveler better than ever and better than anyone.

Alaska is America’s last frontier. Get the latest on native arts, bear watching, dog sledding, gold panning, and more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Asset On My Alaska Trip, July 7, 2010
By 
Esteban Ess (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Alaska, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
I took this book with me on my recent trip to Alaska and found it valuable in identifying places and things to do that I might otherwise have missed. We were up there about two weeks and I consulted this book - and The Lonely Planet Guide To Alaska daily. Here are some examples of why I found this book useful:

1) I would not have known about the Aurora Express B&B in Fairbanks without this book. I cancelled a reservation at a national chain motel and was pleased with the Aurora Express B&B.
We got to stay in an 80 foot Pullman car in a 700 foot long railroad train at over 700 feet elevation with a great view and great hosts and really good food.
2) This book convinced us to visit the musk ox ranch in Palmer. What fun!
3) The maps and tips were helpful.
4) It served as a great companion to Lonely Planet.
5) The photography is inspiring and helped me to set goals for my own photography.

I kept it for future Alaska trip planning.
