Product Description
Wending through breathtaking mountain vistas, along sparkling streams and lakes, over the Canadian Rockies and into the Last Frontier, the Alaska Highway is a portal to some of the most beautiful places in all of North America.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable DRIVING Guide to the Highway, May 27, 2003
By Mikey (California) - See all my reviews
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of money -, September 22, 2008
By travel'nman (Australia) - See all my reviews
Very disappointed with this one. Bought a number of travel books on Amazon on Alaska travel and thought this would be good but it's not, in my opinion. Lovely glossy pages and skips along at a such a pace that more research is needed on each location described to get an understanding of trip planning. One could easliy be forgiven for forming the opinion that the creators grabbed a copy of the Milepost and made a book. Also bought The Unofficial Guide to Adventure Travel in Alaska (Unofficial Guides)" and "Traveler's Guide to Alaskan Camping: Alaska and Yukon Camping with RV or Tent (Traveler's Guide series)" along with The 2008 MILEPOST. These three gave me what I wanted, in much more detail. Can I return the book for a refund plus int shipping cost please?
