My newest hiking guidebook is “Day Hiking Southcentral Alaska” from Mountaineers Books, released in 2019. This is the only guidebook that offers one hundred detailed hike descriptions in this region, stretching from the northern Mat-Su Valley to the southern tip of the Kenai Peninsula.

You can order Day Hiking Southcentral Alaska via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Mountaineers Books (coming soon!), and Indiebound, or get a copy from me at book signings throughout Southcentral Alaska. Watch my home page for a schedule of appearances!

I’m thrilled to announce the second edition of my first hiking guidebook, 50 Hikes Around Anchorage — check out the beautiful new cover on the left.

The second edition of this book was also released in 2019, and contains about a dozen new trails in addition to updates to old favorites. Stay tuned to Hiking Alaska for further trail updates.

Did you know I also write travel guidebooks? My travel guidebook, Moon Alaska, won a Silver Award from the North American Travel Journalists Association. Written for the independent traveler, Moon Alaska is the perfect companion to your Alaska visit, whether you’re traveling by cruise, rail, road or air.

This book is also going into its third edition, which will be available in fall of 2022. Meanwhile, you can order Moon Alaska from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and IndieBound, buy it at most major bookstores, or ask me for a copy at one of my book signings — I usually have a few with me!
