Route's Flyfishing provides data on the gear to use, places to go, and what you'll catch there. The Bicycle guide breaks the touring route into 50-mile stretches, with information on road conditions, terrain, climate, water, camping and picnic areas, etc. If by chance you're planning to ride your bicycle to various fishing holes in Alaska, then you're set with these!-- MR

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book, August 20, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Alaska Bicycle Touring Guide: Including Parts of the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories (Paperback)

I think this book would have been useful several years ago but this edition is almost 10 years old and the information contained is out of date. The elevation profiles provided for the roads in Alaska are also misleading and not detailed enough to be reliable.

I wouldn't recommend that you buy this book if you intend to tour Alaska. Buy a general guide book (Lonely Planet or Rough Guide) and get some decent maps instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars Broad in Scope; Detailed but Terse; Somewhat Dated, February 22, 2000

By	Andrew D. Muhlbach (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Alaska Bicycle Touring Guide: Including Parts of the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories (Paperback)

The second edition is a useful book covering all the major roads in Alaska and the Alaska Highway as far as Whitehorse, YT. Information is organized by region and then by roads within those regions. An introductory section describes the background of the area and provides land management and emergency information. Any communities the cyclist will pass through are described and services relevant to cycle touring are listed. Roads are broken into approximately 80-mile segments with a small elevation profile provided for each. The terrain and road surface are described and the mile post locations of any junctions, water sources, camping, food, lodging, and roadside sights are tersely noted. No mile-by-mile description is provided. Unfortunately, the service information is dated as north-country businesses seem to pop up and shut down with alarming frequency. Coupled with the Milepost, this is a helpful book. Those used to hand-holding touring guides with detailed ride notes may be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still useful after all these years!, June 23, 2006

By	Randy Fay "Randy Fay" (Dawson City, Yukon, Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Alaska Bicycle Touring Guide: Including Parts of the Yukon Territory and Northwest Territories (Paperback)

We just used the book as a guide to ride down the Dempster Highway (along with the Mileposts pages) and it was our best information. Even after 25 years, the information about where to find water, good camping, etc. was quite useful. And bike tourists always like to have some elevation profiles, even though you have to go over the hill whether you have a profile or not. Thanks for the book!
