Alaska - "The Bush" (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
In a state where wilderness is the norm, the Bush is like the frontier on the frontier. Towns are few, roads are fewer, and most of the region is accessible only by flying, floating or walking in. Yes, it takes effort to reach the ends of the earth, but the rewards are equal to the task. In western Alaska, head out on extended backpacks or wilderness paddles, swagger through Nome’s gold-rush saloons or fly into isolated Native villages. In Arctic Alaska, explore the mythical vastness of preserves like Gates of the Arctic National Park and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Coverage includes: Western Alaska, Nome & around, Arctic Alaska, Dalton Highway, Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve and Barrow.
