If you are considering driving to Alaska and are over 50 (55+ is better) then I recommend reading "Guide to the Alaska Highway" (second edition) by Ron Dalby and published by Menasha Ridge Press. If you have already decided to drive to Alaska, then other books are better because they contain more detail and are more current.
I do not enjoy travel books but was inspired by Ron Dalby's book "Guide to the Alaska Highway" to consider driving to Alaska (we are hikers not drivers). The first edition was published around 1989 while the author has driven the route 40 +/- times over as many years. Being over 50 (55+) helps relate to the "dated" descriptions in the book. For me, the book was half "time capsule", half interesting travel trivia, and half travel insight all related to driving to Alaska.
If you have not decided on driving to Alaska then Ron Dalby's book can be inspirational (if your over 50, or even better over 55).
We have not "scheduled" an Alaska trip which is our highest rating for travel destinations.
