About this title

Synopsis

This award-winning guide puts one of the most knowledgable motorcycle tour guides in Alaska in your pocket! Updated in 2014 and the recipient of a Benjamin Franklin Award in the travel category, this witty, fun book brings to life the best roads and off-beat destinations in the state. The guide lists all the road routes in Alaska with recommended dirt road excursions past mines, mountains and streams. The book includes ideal itineraries, the most interesting side roads, and great places to sleep, eat, and get off your bike to sightsee. Gear suggestions, motorcycle transport options, camping tips, and how to incorporate the Marine Highway System into your trip are also part of the package. The content focuses on the Alaska dirt and paved highways, but also includes the Canadian highways of interest as well as the Alaska Highway from Dawson Creek, British Columbia to Delta Junction, Alaska.
