Visitor Guides for Alaska

Of course, we think this site is one of the best visitor guides for Fairbanks. But if you plan to go anywhere else in Alaska, you may need more. So here is what we have gathered for you:

Guidebooks

The Milepost: Classic guide on driving to and within Alaska. Look for information at their Web site, www.milepost.com, including routes and a driving-distance calculator. Their printed Milepost guide, the bible of many drivers, is updated annually and available through the Web site or by phoning 800-726-4707.

Bells Alaska Travel Guide: 1770 Front st #170 Lynden Wa 98264. Phone 250-768-2426  Much good information is on their website, such as a mile by mile description similar to the Milepost. info@bellsalaska.com

Best Places: Alaska — One of a series of Best Places guidebooks by Seattle-based Sasquatch Books. Gives recommendations on where to stay and eat ($21.95).

Compass American Guides: Alaska — Essays on the natural and cultural history of Alaska, photos. Sparse on sightseeing details, hotel listings, so you'll need another guidebook, too ($21).

Frommer's 2002 Alaska — Good all-around guidebook, covering sights, hotels, shopping and more ($19.99).

The Web site http://www.northtoalaska.com has information on driving routes, road conditions and more. A free publication "North! to Alaska" is available.
