Summary: "ALASKA"

I own this guide along with Frommer's and the Eyewitness. This one is zippier and less bogged down with colorless descriptions. Eyewitness comes in number two.

Alaska is the last frontier and a place every American should see at least once in their life. Traveling the rivers and bays is a good way to experience it. Better than a cruise and less expensive. Good addresses inside LP.

Summary: "Great book on Alaska"

I will be visiting my daughter in Alaska soon and got a few books out of the library to help me in planning. I liked this one so much because of the great suggestions of things to do, where to book them, places to stay and eat. So, in order to be able to dog ear pages and underline the areas I want to pursue, I just had to buy it. Great photos also. It makes me excited about Alaska

Summary: "Very helpful book on Alaska and Tracy Arm"

Tracy Arm is by far the most scenic trip there is. On my trip I saw unbelievable calving glaciers, bears, humpback whales, killer whales, beautiful waterfalls and much more. I definitely recommend going to Tracy Arm. In fact, there is a DVD on Tracy Arm called "Alaska, The Tracy Arm Experience". The DVD captures the beauty of this incredible place. The DVD is available on Amazon.

I highly recommend Tracy Arm. If you get a chance, experience it yourself.
