Camping Alaska is a guide to the public and private campgrounds of Alaska accessible by road as well as by the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system. It includes detailed descriptions of, and directions to, 300 campgrounds statewide—from remote islands in southeast Alaska to sprawling tundra camps high above the Arctic Circle. Alaska is home to an array of campgrounds. Some are remote and muddy; some offer mud baths at luxury spas. Each is unique, be it rugged or resort-style. It is not just the amenities that separate these campgrounds—no other state has such geographic diversity. Campers can choose between an extraordinary range of settings, from seaside sand dunes to dripping rain forests, from rolling tundra to icy fjords and high mountain peaks. Camping Alaska is organized by regions, with a substantial introduction on camping within each.

For fans of Cheryl Strayed, the gripping story of a biologist's human-powered journey from the Pacific Northwest to the Arctic to rediscover her love of birds, nature, and adventure. During graduate school, as she conducted experiments on the peculiarly misshapen beaks of chickadees, ornithologist Caroline Van Hemert began to feel stifled in the isolated, sterile environment of the lab. Worried that she was losing her passion for the scientific research she once loved, she was compelled to experience wildness again, to be guided by the sounds of birds and to follow the trails of animals. In March of 2012, she and her husband set off on a 4,000-mile wilderness journey from the Pacific rainforest to the Alaskan Arctic, traveling by rowboat, ski, foot, raft, and canoe. Together, they survived harrowing dangers while also experiencing incredible moments of joy and grace -- migrating birds silhouetted against the moon, the steamy breath of caribou, and the bond that comes from sharing such experiences. A unique blend of science, adventure, and personal narrative, The Sun is a Compass explores the bounds of the physical body and the tenuousness of life in the company of the creatures who make their homes in the wildest places left in North America. Inspiring and beautifully written, this love letter to nature is a lyrical testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Winner of the 2019 Banff Mountain Book Competition: Adventure Travel
