Before you head out to this last frontier, there are some important things to know: how to prepare and plan for your trip, how to decide where to go, and how to safely make the most of the experience. Alaska on Foot contains information on: map and compass skills, cross-country travel techniques, "leave no trace" camping practices, stream crossing, bear encounters, tips on finding edible plants, locating salmon runs, and interpreting animal signs, and much more!
One of the last great wildernesses in the world and a backpacker's paradise, Alaska is also a land of extremes.
