Guide to the National Parks Alaska

From the publisher of the highly popular National Geographic Guide to the
National Parks of the U.S., this full-colour guide covers all of Alaska’s
eight major parks with excursions to many of its lesser known ones. This
handy, handsome, full color volume offers complete guidance to all the Alaska
national parks, which protect more than 41 million acres of the state’s
natural treasures, including active volcanoes, mountains and glaciers, vast
areas of wilderness, fjords, giant brown bears, whales, and sea lions, and
herds of migrating caribou.

Not only does this guide provide detailed description and full visiting
information for the eight major scenic parks – Denali, Gates of the Arctic,
Glacier Bay, Katmai, Kenai Fjords, Kobuk Valley, Lake Clark, and Wrangell-St.
Elias – but it suggests excursions to numerous smaller parks as well, ranging
from the relatively accessible Chugach National Forest and the Misty Fjords
and Admiralty Island National Monuments in the southeast to the really
adventurous Cape Krusen
