Overview
The far north was once a land feared by many, traveled by few. Now it's the kind of place people travel hundreds of miles to visit. This quiet sanctuary of quiet rivers and lakes that come in all shades of blue and green, is also home to some of the most unusual wildlife in the Americas – caribou, bison, whales, musk oxen.Editorials

A guidebook to the 1,500-mile Alaska Highway, covering large cities and small towns, as well as side-trips along the way for moose- watching, hiking, and soaking in hot springs. Entries on towns, cities, and stretches of the highway give information on history, things to do, tours, food, accommodations, and camping. There are many tips for increased safety and enjoyment, such as pulling over rather than stopping in the middle of the road when confronted with wildlife. Alternate highway options are also described, including the Stewart-Cassiar, the South Klondike, and the Top of the World. Includes b&w and color photos. Annotation c.
