5.0 out of 5 stars Exploring Alaska on a budget, this book is for you!, February 16, 2002

By A Customer

This book contains a great list of places to stay and eat with prices. Some of my favorite sections of book include the following: Listing of Best Unspoiled Small Towns, which include Kodiak, Petersburg, and Cordova; Listing of Strange Comunity Events which include Cordova's Ice Worm Festival, Fairbanks' Midnight Sun Baseball Game nad Nomes Polar Bear Swim/Bathtub Race. If you are going to Alaska's number one destination, Denali National Park, make sure you pick up a copy of Discovering Denali.

5.0 out of 5 stars A "Must Read" Before You Go, January 14, 2005

By	Cindy Brock "Sharing Life's Abundance" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews

A trip to Alaska is something people wait a lifetime to take. So, when you do, read anything and everything you can. We took our parents for their 50th anniversary and bought this book for them to research and review before going. They said it was a very informative and gave them great recommendations as to which tours being sold by our cruise ship would be the best!
