This review is from: Walking Southeast Alaska: Scenic Walks and Easy Hikes for Inside Passage Travelers (Paperback)
As a "just for the fun of it" day hiker I found this book really useful. I traveled thru Southeast Alaska via State Ferry and found the hints and suggestions here right on target. The hikes/walks the author suggests are basic and easy but give you a great flavor of each town. I really like the "walking notes" section for each hike, this section gives special hints on what to look for in each walk. All of the local tourist info centers in SE towns have local walking maps but this book offers shorter and longer hikes based on how long you want to spend on the trail - which compliments local maps. The only drawback would be that the hand drawn maps don't really give you a sense of scale, nor do they have any landmarks listed as guideposts for the walks. This is a great book for both cruise ship and independent travelers. It is a great place to start exporing the port towns of SE Alaska.
