WHAT THE AUTHOR HAS TO SAY:
If you dream of taking an extended wilderness paddling trip in Alaska, I highly recommend this book. I've been exploring Alaska's rivers for the past 34 years, and offer my perspectives and experience. This book will help you plan your trip: everything from what kind of boat to use to how to arrange for a bush plane flight. Alaska is a huge state and getting around can be a challenge. Even selecting a river to run is tough. We have over 3,500 rivers!! This book profiles 100 trip possibilities. All of Alaska's Wild and Scenic Rivers are included, as well as many rivers in Southeast, Southwest, the Interior, Southcentral and the Far North, with river mileages, maps, put-in and take-out information, accurate descriptions, gear lists, and more! Can you guess how many tributaries the Yukon River has? Buy the book and you'll find plenty that are floatable - a lifetime's worth. This is the third edition, and it's been updated with the most accurate information available.
