Passing through breathtaking mountain vistas, along sparkling streams and lakes, over the Canadian Rockies, and into the Last Frontier, the Alaska Highway-or the Alcan, as it is more familiarly known-is a portal to some of the most beautiful places in all of North America. In the fourth edition of Tricia Brown's best-selling guide, she takes you from Dawson Creek to Skagway, from White Horse to Prudhoe Bay, providing detailed information and great tips along the way. This Comprehensive guidebook, filled with full-color maps and photos, includes details on how to prepare for your trip; roadway considerations; places to hike, bike, fish, and boat; attractions and festivals you won't want to miss; and the best places to see Alaska's famed wildlife.

She and her husband make their home in Oregon when not exploring the 49th state.
