Spend Less and See More in Alaska
If you'd like to get the most out of your dollar and your trip, this is the guide for you. I put a fresh spin on budget travel, showing you the best for less and how to see it in a more authentic way-the way the locals do. Instead of spending $300 a night for a chain hotel, why not sleep in a cozy waterfront apartment in Kodiak for as little as $85 a night, or take over an entire lighthouse in Cordova for the week . . . for free!? I'll take you on self-guided treks to see glaciers calve and highlight the best places to spot bears (safely and cheaply) in the great Alaskan wilderness. That way you can save enough to splurge on the best whale-watching tours (we rate 'em all), take a flightseeing expedition to Mt. McKinley, conquer the rapids on a whitewater rafting tour, or learn how to reel in Pacific salmon from a master. Let me show you the "other" Alaska-the one only insiders know about. Catch a lumberjack and gold panning competition in Juneau or volunteer on an archaeological dig in Unalaska in search of the state's earliest history. These are only a few of the great ways to get closer to the culture of Alaska. Read on for more!
