Eine Reise nach Alaska ohne Milepost ist wie eine Reise ohne Personalausweis. Also ein Absolutes Muss für jeden der den abgelegenen Teil dieser Welt erkunden möchte. Alle Straßendetails sind hervorragend beschrieben. Selbst Picnicplätze sind vermerkt, ganz zu schweigen von allen Sehenswürdigkeiten die auf der Stecke liegen. Alles genauestens beschrieben und mit Kilometer- bzw. Meilenangaben. Also wer ins Land der Bären will...UNBEDINGT zugreifen!

On the Road to Alaska and NW Canada....
4. März 2009
Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
The 2009 edition of "The Milepost" is the current version of the most uniquely valuable travel guide to Alaska and Northwest Canada (British Columbia, Yukon, and Alberta Provinces). This guide is a must-have resource for the tourist, RVer, and North Country camper.
Alaska and Northwest Canada cover a huge geographic area with significant terrain and weather variations and far less travel infrastructure than most travelers are used to in the lower '48 states. Travelers should not expect gas stations, restaurants, and franchise hotels at every exit off the main roads, nor should they expect that facilities or even roads are open year-round. Dangerous weather and driving conditions are possible to likely as much as six months or more of the year. In addition, travelers need to be alert to both the prospect of wildlife viewing and sometime close encounters in the road.
"The Milepost" provides maps, diagrams, photographs, and most of all, an almost mile-by-mile travelogue of what to expect along the main roads in the North Country. This detailed information will allow the traveler to locate the next gas station, campground, hotel, or scenic spot in areas where signs and billboards may be scarce. The text is seeded with advertisements for many of the commercial establishments along the Alaska Highway in Canada and the limited major road network in Alaska, allowing travelers to plan ahead for scarce beds. Travelers can also plan ahead for fishing charters on the world-famous Kenai Peninsula or the operating hours of the few but often fascinating small museums and roadside attractions that can be found along the way.
The annual updating of "The Milepost" assures the traveler of some advance notice for construction or major changes in the road network. "The Milepost" does include some information on the location of trailheads, but serious walkers, bikers, and snowmachiners should seek elsewhere for detailed information on off-road routes. This guide includes convenient scheduling information for the Alaska Marine Highway System and directions to the digital version of "The Milepost."
This publication is very highly recommended to both the resident and the visitor in Alaska and Northwest Canada, which are some of the most scenic parts of North America. Don't leave the lower '48 without it.

Could be much better
3. April 2009
First, there are not many travel guides for the Alaska Highway and the other areas covered in this book. There is quite a bit of helpful information as is but not really enough. I feel that it really falls short and is not nearly as good as the Milepost editions of days gone by as I have been traveling this road off and on for the past 30 years.
Second, The information is way too tainted by who advertises in this travel guide. If they advertise there is info on gas, lodging, etc. If there is no one who advertises in a particular area then there is no mention of services for that area. To me that is incomplete information and really sucks! I also feel that there should be better info for the different seasons as to what is open and not open. Don't buy gas at the fancy new lodge on Muncho Lake (Northern Rockies Lodge)!!! It is the highest priced fuel on the entire highway by an unreasonable margin and the people are just plain RUDE! Get fuel before leaving Ft. Nelson or after you get to Watson Lake. Make sure you are hungry when you get to Destruction Bay. Then you can eat the best food on the entire highway at the Talbot Arm Motel and Restaurant. I have always had great food for the best price anywhere here!!!

The Milepost 2009
6. April 2009
The milepost is THEE book to travel by. This will be our fifth trip to Alaska and we've had a milepost every time. You can't get lost; everything is spelled out by the mile; gas stations, motels, camp grounds, grocery stores, museums and places of interest, even fishing spots! The book is complete with maps and pictures. It is so complete, you almost don't need to leave home to enjoy the sights.
