Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Alaska (Regional Guide)
Book Review: A good book, but you may also want to pack a Milepost
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't own this book but have browsed through a good deal of it in Google Books. (I'm from Alaska, and wanted to see how it treated my favorite hiking and camping spots.) On the whole, the book does a good job of picking highlights, and it is quite accurate. However, if you are going to be in Alaska for an extended trip, you probably also want to buy a Milepost to keep in the glove box. Lonely Planet is good, but not nearly as thorough--it left out a good number of my favorites. Whereas the Lonely Planet's strength is more in selecting things for you to do, the Milepost will tell you if the lake you're driving by is stocked with fish.
