Moon Travel Guides: Make Your Escape!

Remote, wild, and all-around otherworldly, Alaska promises unforgettable adventure. Discover the heart of "The Last Frontier" with Moon Alaska.

What you'll find in Moon Alaska:

Strategic itineraries for every budget and timeline, whether you have a week to hit the top sights or a month to explore the whole state

Full-color photos and detailed maps throughout, plus a full-color foldout map

Curated advice for outdoor adventurers, history buffs, culture mavens, road-trippers, wildlife enthusiasts, and more

Must-see attractions and off-beat ideas for making the most of your trip: Embark on a guided active glacier hike, explore ice caves, or take an intrepid "flightseeing" tour to secluded glacier landings in Denali National Park. Experience the thrill of spotting wild bears, moose, or even walrus, or catch a glimpse of sea otters and humpback whales on a boat tour of the spectacular Kenai Fjords. Hike through lush wilderness or along pristine beaches, kayak on tranquil sounds or secluded lakes, or camp under the crystal-clear stars. Learn about Alaska's native cultures and quirky small towns, savor a freshly-caught seafood dinner, and discover the best spots to witness the enchanting northern lights

Honest advice from Anchorage local and outdoor aficionado Lisa Maloney on when to go, what to pack, and where to stay, from campsites and hostels to B&Bs and resort fishing lodges

I really love the Moon Guides. They provide information about outside activities and interesting places to visit for us. We enjoy going to the out of the way and backroad adventures, but the information about Anchorage and Denali were great, too. We traveled up to Hatcher Pass because of this guide and it was really beautiful. We also followed her advice about taking a hike on Root Glacier. That was really incredible.
