Summary: Mile Post Guide Disappointment
Review: I was very disappointed in the "Mile Post Guide" when my husband and I spent four months in Alaska and Canada. There was so much information that was incorrect or just left out. If we would have had to rely on the guide alone, we would have misssed a wonderful and senic vacation. The wonderful people living in the area and the amount of time we had to spend with them made our trip great

Summary: Concise & comprehensive book on Alaska/W. Canada travel
Review: Originally a logbook about the Alaska-Canada Highway, this book has grown over the years to be a comprehensive guidebook on Alaska, NW Canada, and the Alcan Highway. It's useful no matter what your style of visiting Alaska. I like the guide even though I haven't driven the (marathon) Alcan Highway (I've used airlines, ferrys, trains, and other public transportation). I read other guides in preparation, but this is the only one I bring with me during the trip.This book is packed with detail about not only what to see, but important mudane details about gas stations, lodging, stores, and ferry schedules for each locality. Wait until March to get the current edition of Milepost, if you don't need it right away.

Summary: The Bible for Alaska Travelers for over 50 years
Review: The Milepost has provided the Alaska traveler with all of the support (lodging, gas stations, dining, vehicle repairs, medical, etc.) and sight-seeing information needed to have a safe, comfortable and informative journey. It details this information on mile-by-mile basis which allows the traveler to know the joys and potential hazards of the trip. It also provides this same detail for all of the major roads that lead to and from the Alaska Highway and throughout Alaska. Also a necessary reference for the traveler who flys to Alaska and rents a car in Anchorage or Fairbanks. It also provides history and trivia of many of the little towns in the Alaska Wilderness. I get this book every time I had to Alaska. Alaska adventurers should also consider getting the book, Discovering Denali if they are going to explore Denali National Park.

Summary: The miles fly by!
Review: There are lots of miles of roads in AK, and driving them can be a bit boring. Unless you have the milepost to guide you. There are interesting things happening all along the roadside, and a long road trip will whiz by when you are aware of what you are seeing, or can anticipate what is coming up around the bend. Well worth the investment.

Summary: Alaska's Bible If Traveling Around Alaska
Review: This Magazine Is A MUST If You Are Planning A Trip To Alaska Or Even If You Live In Alaska. There Is So Much Imformation In This Book. We Get It Everytime A New Edition Comes Out. I Even Get It And Send It To My Dad In NY. He Enjoys Reading It. (We Can Get It At Costco's For Only[amount of money]Here In Alaska) But It Is Well Worth The Money.
