"If you're not one to follow the 'straight and narrow, ' this is the Alaska guide for you. It details offbeat things to do and places to see, whether you are walking, driving, cruising, or flying."--"San Antonio Express-News"

From the Back Cover

Tired of the same old tourist traps? Take the road less traveled and discover the hidden attractions, unique finds, and unusual locales other guidebooks just don't offer. Off the Beaten Path® features the things you'd want to see - if only you knew about them! From the best in local dining to quirky cultural tidbits, you'll say over and over again: "I didn't know that!"
Whether you're a visitor or a local looking for something different, let Alaska Off the Beaten Path show you the Last Frontier you never knew existed. Discover the Arctic Brotherhood Hall in Skagway, its curious facade covered with more than 20,000 pieces of driftwood; visit the smallest desert in the world - at 640 acres-in southern Yukon; or try gourmet pickled and frozen fiddlehead ferns near Talkeetna. So if you've "been there, done that" one too many times, get off the main road and venture Off the Beaten Path.
