5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a complete guide to Denali National Park, AK, August 29, 2001
By A Customer
Discovering Denali includes information on how to get to the park, what to see on the way, where to stay (including campsites, bed and breakfasts, hotels, motels), side trips and excursions, and tips for fishing, hiking, flightseeing and even climbing Mt. McKinley (also know as Denali, "the High One"). There are also bits of interesting history and folklore, extensive maps, and some personal insights by the author. It is the first and only source of information that provides detailed descriptions about the 43 individual sections of the park, including backpacking and camping information that heretofore has only been available upon arrival.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save the money, visit Denali NPS website, July 16, 2002
By A Customer
I bought the book based on the good reviews of this book. But I am totally dispointed. Basically this book copies the information from the Denali nps website, there is nothing new in it. And you can get more up-to-dated information from the web.
Save the money, visit nps website instead

5.0 out of 5 stars Discover Denali easy way, August 6, 2005
By Jozef K. Moscicki "hiker" (Ithaca, NY USA - Krakow PL Europe) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Once you get there, you learn that Alaska is EXPENSIVE, especially mistakes in planning well ahead. As is Denali National Park. And more you know, the better. For those planning a trip to Denali NP a word-of-mouth is probably the best way to go. The book by Dow Scoggins offers a good starting point and a reference for the w.o.m. search. Myself, I bought four guidebooks about Alaska and Denali, three more-or-less useless, rather collections of ads by different operators from the region, and the Scoggins' one. After being there, I can tell you that the book is worth the money.
