Its 700-plus pages detail accommodations, camping, fishing, gas stops, restaurants, attractions and services found along the highways and byways of Alaska and western Canada. The guide's Travel Planning section answers frequently-asked questions about travel in the North, including what you need to know about crossing the international border, traveling with pets, the Alaska ferry system, driving conditions, railroads, tours and wildlife. Suggested itineraries are mapped out to help travelers plan their trips.

Disillusioned with the boundaries of wilderness parks, Jim and Laurie McNamara sought wilderness that was wild by nature, not by law. In 1991, they loaded a canoe with food for three months and paddled away from the end of the road toward the most remote spot on the continent. After 80 grueling days, they returned, having found their deep wilderness and seen the imprints of past cultures who once called the Canadian north home. Nostalgic about times past, they could not know that they, too, witnessed the end of an era before the information revolution took hold. In the Wake is their story about deep wilderness in those end times."In the Wake carries the reader deep into the canoe county of northern Canada, from the boreal forest to the Barren Lands and back again. A pencil line tracing the route used by Jim and Laurie McNamara in 1991 wouldn’t do their trip justice. Neither would straightforward numbers: two people, one seventeen-foot-long canoe, eighty days of travel, 850 pounds of food and equipment, and one thousand miles of portaging and paddling. Instead, you must read the book—and in doing so, grab a taste of their adventure, experience the numbing weariness of hauling a 100-pound pack across a trailless portage, feel the ecstasy of sinking deeply into wilderness, and understand the uncertainty of not knowing where your route might take you, in the era before GPS devices and satellite phones made wilderness travel a less challenging undertaking than it is today."-Christopher Norment, author of In the North of Our Lives: A Year in the Wilderness of Northern Canada and Return to Warden’s Grove: Science, Desire, and the Lives of Sparrows"In a somewhat insane canoe route, Jim and Laurie McNamara’s journey harkens back to that time across the divide, before GPS, In Reach devices, and Gaia pinpointing locations. Back to a time of 1:250,000 maps that leave A LOT out. Back to severing the umbilical cord with society, only reconnecting after re-emergence from the wilds. Their travel account and historical asides were a lovely immersion for me, steeped in that endless space, vibrant with energy, infused with youthful vigor, and anchored in reverence. I recognize kindred spirits in these pages and am thankful for the company. Kudos to their partnership, shared sentiments, and lives forged in the wake of those experiences."-Alan Kesselheim, Author of Water and Sky, Going Inside, and Let Them Paddle Read more

An adventurer, firefighter, and jiu-jitsu practitioner embarks on a journey of a lifetime—a 1,000 mile voyage through the Canadian sub-arctic—after recovering from a life-threatening illness.The Canadian North is a vast and lonely land where bears roam free, fires rage unchecked, and storms blast every living thing on the tundra. When Stephan Kesting, already no stranger to pushing his own physical limits, was faced with a rare illness, he knew the only way for him to recover in both body and mind was to dig even deeper. Despite the dangers inherent in the sub-arctic, Kesting sets out on an unimaginably difficult journey. Completely alone in the wilderness for six weeks, where a single mistake could cost his life, Kesting followed in the footsteps of the native peoples and earliest explorers. In this deepest solitude and wracked with self-doubt, he found the strength to endure. Perseverance is the moving and nail-biting account of his journey from near-death to a raw embrace of adventure and life. Inspirational, vulnerable and honest, Kesting shares the lessons he learned in the wilderness that will help us hold onto hope in our darkest moments and show how we can find the strength to overcome any obstacle.

This book contains the story of an 870-mile canoe trip through the Canadian Barren Lands west of Hudson Bay that two friends and I completed in the summer of 1988. The trip took 55 days. We started on Wollaston Lake, in northwest Saskatchewan and ended at Baker Lake in the Northwest Territories (now Nunavut). The journey took us through remote areas of the boreal forest country to the Arctic divide and into the vast Barren Lands of the Northwest Territories. The area we traveled through has become part of Nunavut as the result of the Nunavut Land Claims settlement. We faced many difficult portages, swarms of blackflies, dangerous whitewater, strong winds, and expansive ice-cold lakes. We retraced significant portions of J.B Tyrrell's 1893 and 1894 geological expeditions in the Barrens and explored Farley Mowat's "The Deer's Way", described in his book People of the Deer, that separates the waters of the Dubawnt and Kazan Rivers. We traveled part of the route used by the tragic Arthur Moffat expedition in 1955. We saw effects of past continental glaciation, herds of caribou and muskoxen, white wolves, abundant bird life and much evidence of past cultures that had once occupied the land. Read more

Y2Y's limited lowlands provide prime winter range for numerous wildlife species -- as well as prime ranchland and prime building sites for vacation homes. Wildlife biologist and acclaimed author Douglas H. Chadwick takes you on a voyage of personal discovery as he chronicles the burgeoning threats that face this region -- and the promise embodied by Y2Y. Read more
