7 Alaska Great Outdoors Adventures
Alaska - Lonely Planet (PDF) >
1. Alaska Best Hikes & Paddles (PDF) Lonely Planet
There are so many possible adventures in the mountains, rivers, lakes and fiords of Alaska that even the most budget-conscious traveler can take time to explore what lies beyond the pavement. Do it yourself and save.
2. Alaska - Juneau & the Southeast (PDF) Lonely Planet
While much of the state is a treeless expanse of land with a layer of permafrost, the Southern Panhandle is a slender, long rainforest that stretches 540 miles from Icy Bay south to Portland Canal.
3. Alaska - Anchorage & Around (PDF) Lonely Planet
Anchorage isn’t simply a big city on the edge of the wilderness, but rather a big city in the wil-derness, and it manages to mingle hiking trails and traffic jams, small art galleries and Big Oil, like no other city.
4. Alaska - Prince William Sound (PDF) Lonely Planet
Enclosed in a jagged-edged circle and infused with fjords and glaciers, Prince William Sound is stunning. With only three cities, the 15,000 sq mile region is mostly wilderness packed with quiet coves and rainy islands.
5. Alaska - Kenai Peninsula (PDF) Lonely Planet
The Kenai Peninsula offers some of the most accessible wilderness adventures in Alaska. There are multiday hikes through the snow-capped mountains, paddles through glaciated fjords, camping on never-seen-before lost coves, and some of the biggest fish around.
6. Alaska - Denali & the Interior (PDF) Lonely Planet
Adventures are served raw here, or barbecued with a handcrafted beer. The best of the Interior can be found by forging a trail down a riverbed, but natural wonders can also be experi-enced from the seat of a park bus.
7. Alaska - Kodiak, Katmai & Southwest Alaska (PDF) Lonely Planet
Tapering out into the Bering Sea like a curled crocodile’s tail, this region is a jumble of treeless emerald hills, precipitous cliffs and conical snow-capped peaks heavy with reminders of an erst-while Russian culture and a still surviving Aleut one.
You can pick and choose from complete guides and individual chapters, and download them to any device you like.
